This also includes a fix for the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) SSLv3 vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in October 2014. Vulnerability Details The following advisories are included in the IBM SDK Java Technology Edition and WebSphere Application Server may be vulnerable to them. Interim fixes for HP Platforms will be delivered in 1Q2015. CVEID: CVE-2014-6512 DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Libraries component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97147 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) CVEID: CVE-2014-6457 DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97148 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N) CVEID: CVE-2014-6558 DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component has no confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability impact. CVSS Base Score: 2.6 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97151 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) CVEID: CVE-2014-3566 DESCRIPTION: Product could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a design error when using the SSLv3 protocol. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability via a POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL sessions and access the plaintext of encrypted connections. The IBM SDK for Java has changed the default to eliminate the POODLE vulnerability. There is a new system property com.ibm.jsse2.disableSSLv3 It is defaulted to true so that it will not use SSLv3. If you want to take the risk you may turn SSLv3 back on with the system property: com.ibm.jsse2.disableSSLv3=false CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/97013 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) For more information on CVE-2014-3566, please refer to the links in the reference section. The following advisories are included in the IBM SDK for Java but WebSphere Application Server is not vulnerable to them. You will need to evaluate your own code to determine if you are vulnerable. Please refer to the Reference section for more information on the advisories not applicable to WebSphere Application Server: CVE IDs: CVEID: CVE-2014-3065 CVEID: CVE-2014-4288 CVEID: CVE-2014-6456 CVEID: CVE-2014-6458 CVEID: CVE-2014-6466 CVEID: CVE-2014-6468 CVEID: CVE-2014-6476 CVEID: CVE-2014-6492 CVEID: CVE-2014-6493 CVEID: CVE-2014-6502 CVEID: CVE-2014-6503 CVEID: CVE-2014-6504 CVEID: CVE-2014-6506 CVEID: CVE-2014-6511 CVEID: CVE-2014-6513 CVEID: CVE-2014-6515 CVEID: CVE-2014-6519 CVEID: CVE-2014-6527 CVEID: CVE-2014-6531 CVEID: CVE-2014-6532 Affected Products and Versions IBM Java SDK shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.3, Version 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.9, Version 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.35, Version 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.0.47.

Workarounds and Mitigations IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling SSLv3. You should verify disabling SSLv3 does not cause any compatibility issues.
