Summary

The RC4 Bar Mitzvah Attack for SSL/TLS affects Algo Credit Limits.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2015-2808

DESCRIPTION: The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol,
could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An attacker 
could exploit this vulnerability to remotely expose account credentials 
without requiring an active man-in-the-middle session. Successful exploitation
could allow an attacker to retrieve credit card data or other sensitive 
information. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as "Bar Mitzvah 
Attack".

CVSS Base Score: 5

CVSS Temporal Score: See 
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101851 for the current 
score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

Affected Products and Versions

Algo Credit Limits 4.7 and earlier

Remediation/Fixes

None

Workarounds and Mitigations

To disable the RC4 stream cipher in your Algo Credit Limits server 
installation, edit 
$ACLM_HOME/jlib/platform/jre/jre/lib/security/java.security. Find the line 
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3 and change it to 
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3,RC4

You should verify applying this configuration change does not cause any 
compatibility issues. Not disabling the RC4 stream cipher will expose yourself
to the attack described above. IBM recommends that you review your entire 
environment to identify other areas where you have enabled the RC4 stream 
cipher and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.
