shipped with IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale. These issues were disclosed as part
of the IBM Java SDK updates in July 2014.

Vulnerability Details

The following two advisories are included in the IBM SDK Java Technology 
Edition and WebSphere eXtreme Scale may be vulnerable to them.

CVEID: CVE-2014-4263

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component 
has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact and no 
availability impact.

CVSS Base Score: 4.0

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/94606 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2014-4244

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component 
has partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact and no 
availability impact.

CVSS Base Score: 4.0

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/94605 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)

Affected Products and Versions

WebSphere eXtreme Scale client and server 7.1.0 at all fix pack and interim 
fix levels.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale client and server 7.1.1 at all fix pack and interim 
fix levels.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale client and server 8.5.0 at all fix pack and interim 
fix levels.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale client and server 8.6.0 at all fix pack and interim 
fix levels prior to 8.6.0.6.

When WebSphere eXtreme Scale clients or servers are deployed within WebSphere
Application Server, the Java SDK of the WebSphere Application Server is used,
and therefore it is not necessary to install a new level of WebSphere eXtreme
Scale. See the security bulletin for WebSphere Application Server at this 
link: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21680418

Remediation/Fixes

Apply an interim fix or fix pack as documented in the table. Later versions of
WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance fixes and fix packs will also include the 
fix for APAR PI31212.
