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 IBM Data Studio client 4.1.1 and earlier IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for LUW 4.1.1 and earlier IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS 4.1.1 and earlier InfoSphere Data Architect 9.1.2 and earlier Remediation/Fixes None Workarounds and Mitigations The following mitigation applies to: Product Version IBM Data Studio client 3.2, 4.1.0, 4.1.0.1, 4.1.1 IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for LUW 3.2, 4.1.0, 4.1.0.1, 4.1.1 IBM InfoSphere Optim Query Workload Tuner for DB2 for z/OS 3.2, 4.1.0, 4.1.0.1, 4.1.1 InfoSphere Data Architect 8.5, 9.1, 9.1.1, 9.1.2 To disable the RC4 stream cipher in the JVM environment of the product, modify the java.security file. The java.security file is located in the security folder relative to the product install directory (for example: C:\Program Files\IBM\DS4.1.1\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security). Open the file and add the following property at the end of the file: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=RC4 If there is an existing entry already, append to it using a comma to separate each algorithm. For example: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms= SSLv3,RC4 Note: editing the java.security file may require administrator privileges. Restart the product to pick up the security configuration updates. 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. For earlier versions, IBM recommends upgrading to the latest supported version of the product.
