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
- -- 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);
}

Mitigation(s): None known
