Security Bulletin
Summary
SSLv3 contains a vulnerability that has been referred to as the Padding Oracle
On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) attack. SSLv3 is configurable in
FileNet Content Manager and FileNet BPM products.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3566
DESCRIPTION: A remote attacker could obtain sensitive information, caused by a
design error with 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.
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)
*The CVSS Environment Score is customer environment specific and will
ultimately impact the Overall CVSS Score. Customers can evaluate the impact of
this vulnerability in their environments by accessing the links in the
Reference section of this Security Bulletin.

Note:
IBM strongly suggests that all System z customers subscribe to the System z
Security Portal to receive the latest critical System z security and integrity
service. If you are not subscribed, see the instructions on the System z
Security web site. Security and integrity APARs and associated fixes will be
posted to this portal. IBM suggests reviewing the CVSS scores and applying all
security or integrity fixes as soon as possible to minimize any potential
risk.

For other releases, use the workarounds
provided below until a fix is fomrally
released.
IBM Content Foundation 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 5.2.0.3-P8CaseFoundation-IF005 - Mar
10, 2015
For other releases, use the workarounds provided below until a fix is fomrally
released.
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 that disabling SSLv3 does not cause any compatibility
issues.
To resolve the SSLv3 vulnerability for Content Engine (CE) server and Content
Federated Services (CFS) upgrade the application server Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) to SR16FP2 or higher and configure one of the following SSL
options on the CE Server WebSphere Application Server:
WebSphere protocols: SSL_TSL, TSL, TSLv1, SSL_TSLv2
The CE clients that run the Content Engine (CE)/Content Platform Engine (CPE)
Client Download API, such as where you run ICN Configuration Manager, should
also be upgraded to JRE SR16FP2 or higher.
The CFS installer, which obtains the necessary CE client software by running
the Content Engine (CE)/Content Platform Engine (CPE) Client Download API,
should also be launched with JRE SR16FP2 or higher.
Note: For JBoss and WebLogic, see the "Workarounds and Mitigations" section
for how to disable SSL on those application servers. Currently only the
WebSphere JRE vulnerability fix has been released.
Workarounds and Mitigations
For Content Engine (CE)/Content Platform Engine (CPE) Client Download API, the
SSLv3 security vulnerability can be resolved by upgrading the WebSphere
Application Server and Client to JRE SR16FP2 or higher.
For Content Federation Services (CFS) release and fix pack installation prior
to CFS 5.2.0.2-CFS-FP002, the SSL v3 security vulnerability can be resolved by
launching the CFS installer using JRE SR16FP2 or higher using the following
command:
<Executable file name for CFS installer> LAX_VM <SR16FP2 Java executable>
For example:
(Windows) 5.1.0-CFS-WIN.EXE LAX_VM C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\JRE6_SR16FP2
\bin\java.exe
(UNIX) ./5.1.0-CFS-<PLATFORM>.BIN LAX_VM
/opt/ibm-java-jre-6.0-16.2-i386/jre/bin/java
For Content Search Services (CSS), SSLv3 should be disabled to effectively
mitigate the vulnerability.
1) Add the following to the last line in the Content Search Services (CSS)
startup script. (It can be added after the shut down on OOM parameter) ;
- -Dcom.ibm.jsse2.usefipsprovider=true
2) In the file [ECMTS_HOME]\Java60\jre\lib\security\java.security change the
lines:
#ssl.SocketFactory.provider=
#ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=
to
ssl.SocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl
ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider=com.ibm.jsse2.SSLServerSocketFactoryImpl
3) Also in the file [ECMTS]\Java60\jre\lib\security\java.security change the
lines:
security.provider.1=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
security.provider.2=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.3=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.5=com.ibm.security.sasl.IBMSASL
security.provider.6=com.ibm.xml.crypto.IBMXMLCryptoProvider
security.provider.7=com.ibm.xml.enc.IBMXMLEncProvider
security.provider.8=org.apache.harmony.security.provider.PolicyProvider
security.provider.9=com.ibm.security.jgss.mech.spnego.IBMSPNEGO
to
security.provider.1=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
security.provider.2=com.ibm.crypto.fips.provider.IBMJCEFIPS
security.provider.3=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
security.provider.5=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.6=com.ibm.security.sasl.IBMSASL
security.provider.7=com.ibm.xml.crypto.IBMXMLCryptoProvider
security.provider.8=com.ibm.xml.enc.IBMXMLEncProvider
security.provider.9=org.apache.harmony.security.provider.PolicyProvider
security.provider.10=com.ibm.security.jgss.mech.spnego.IBMSPNEGO
(The second row was added and then all the numbers were increased by 1)
For those unable to install the new Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the
Content Engine (CE) server, Content Federated Services (CFS) server, and
clients (as is the case for WebLogic or JBoss configurations), the following
instructions describe disabling SSLv3.
