Note: The same fix may be listed under multiple vulnerabilities. Installing
the fix addresses all vulnerabilities to which the fix applies. Also, some
fixes require installing both a fix pack and a subsequent patch. While the fix
pack must be installed first, any additional patches required may be installed
in any order.
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.
Workarounds and Mitigations
None.
