CVE ID: CVE-2014-3083 (APAR PI17768 and PI30579)
DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server could allow a remote attacker to
obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to restrict access to
resources located within the web application. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to obtain configuration data and other sensitive information.
PI17768 is used to deliver the code for the fix to the Portlet container and

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
AFFECTED VERSIONS: The following IBM WebSphere Application Server Versions are
affected:
- - Version 8.5 Version 8.5 Liberty Profile if you have installed the Portlet
Container feature from the WASdev Liberty Repository.
- - Version 8
- - Version 7
Remediation/Fixes: Remediation is needed for WebSphere Application Server as
well as there may be a need for your own portlets to be updated to avoid this
issue. The recommended solution is to apply the Fix Pack or PTF for each named
product as soon as practical
Fix: Apply an Interim Fix, Fix Pack or PTF containing this APAR PI17768 and/or
PI30579, as noted below:
For IBM WebSphere Application Server
For V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.2 (Full Profile):
- - Apply Fix Pack 3 (8.5.5.3), or later for fix to Portlet container for
PI17768
- - Apply Fix Pack 5 (8.5.5.5), or later for fix to Faces Portlet for
PI30579 (targeted to be available 13 March 2015)
- -- Or --
- - Apply Interim Fix for Faces Portlet PI30579
- - Apply Interim Fix for Portlet Container PI17768
For V8.5.0.0. through 8.5.5.2 (Liberty Profile):
If you have the installed the Portlet Container Feature from WASdev Liberty
Repository:
- - Remove the Portlet Container feature from your Liberty Profile server by
deleting the following files and directories:
usr\extension\dev\api\spec\com.ibm.websphere.appserver.api.portlet_2.0.0.jar
usr\extension\dev\api\spec\com.ibm.ws.javaee.ccpp_1.0.0.jar
usr\extension\dev\api\spec\com.ibm.ws.javaee.portlet_2.0.0.jar
usr\extension\lib\com.ibm.ws.portletcontainer_2.0.0.jar
usr\extension\lib\features\com.ibm.websphere.appserver.portlet-2.0.mf
usr\extension\lib\features\l10n\com.ibm.websphere.appserver.portlet-2.0.properties
usr\extension\lafiles\com.ibm.websphere.appserver.portlet-2.0 directory and
all subdirectories
Then install the most current version of the Portlet Container from the WASdev
Liberty Repository.
For V8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.9:
- - Apply Fix Pack 10 (8.0.0.10), or later.
- -- Or --
- - Apply Interim Fix for Faces Portlet PI30579
- - Apply Interim Fix for Portlet Container PI17768
For V7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.33:
- - Apply Fix Pack 35 (7.0.0.35), or later.
- -- Or --
- - Apply Interim Fix PI17768
PI30579 is not applicable to version 7.0
Remediation for portlets:
All JSR 286 compliant portlets that derive from class
javax.portlet.GenericPortlet must override method serveResource. An overriding
serveResource implementation must not call super.serveResource. If the portlet
does not use resource serving, a empty implementation of serveResource should
be used.
Example: This empty implementation is correct for a portlet that does not use
resource serving:
@Override
public void serveResource(ResourceRequest request, ResourceResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException {
// Empty implementation on purpose
if (logger.isLoggable(Level.WARNING) {
// Unexpected call to serveResource, therefore log a warning.
logger.log(Level.WARNING, "Unexpected call to serveResource.");
}
}
Example of a WRONG fix:
@Override
public void serveResource(ResourceRequest request, ResourceResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException {
// FIXME This is wrong: Calling super.serveResource does not fix the security issue !
super .serveResource(request, response);
}
Workaround(s): None known
Mitigation(s): None known
CVE ID: CVE-2014-0076 (APAR PI19700)
DESCRIPTION: The GSKit component in IBM HTTP Server could allow a local

Pack, PTF, or Interim Fix containing APAR PI19700, as noted below. If the
SSLFIPSEnable directive is specified, the vulnerability remains after applying
the fix. As a remediation, disable SSLFIPSEnable, or change any of the above
conditions.
For affected IBM HTTP Server:
