Security Bulletin
Summary
There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM SDK for JavaTechnology Edition that
is used by WebSphere Process Server. 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 SDK for
JavaTechnology Edition updates in October 2014.
Vulnerability Details
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 Technology Edition 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.
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.
Affected Products and Versions
WebSphere Process Server 6.1.x, 6.2.x, 7.0.x
If you are using an unsupported version, IBM strongly recommends to upgrade.
Remediation/Fixes
Install WebSphere Application Server interim fixes as appropriate for your
current WebSphere Process Server version as described in the Security
Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in Java SDK affect WebSphere Application
Server October 2014 CPU document.
Be aware that the CVE-2014-3566 (POODLE) requires an additional fix for
WebSphere Process Server as described in Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in
SSLv3 affects WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Business Compass, WebSphere
Business Modeler and WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server
(CVE-2014-3566)
Workarounds and Mitigations
