Security Bulletin

Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM SDK Java Technology Edition, 
Versions 6 and 7 that are used by IBM InfoSphere Information Server. These 
issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2015. 
This bulletin also addresses the FREAK: Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT keys" 
TLS/SSL client and server vulnerability.

A vulnerability in RC4 stream cipher affects IBM WebSphere Application Server
and Progress Software DataDirect Connect ODBC drivers that are shipped as 
components of IBM InfoSphere Information Server. Information about this Bar 
Mitzvah security vulnerability has been published in a WebSphere Application 
Server security bulletin. Information about this vulnerability and Progress 
Software DataDirect Connect ODBC drivers is below.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2015-0138

DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability in various IBM SSL/TLS implementations could 
allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain SSL/TLS 
connections. An IBM SSL/TLS client implementation could accept the use of an 
RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. This could 
allow a remote attacker using man-in-the-middle techniques to facilitate 
brute-force decryption of TLS/SSL traffic between vulnerable clients and 
servers.

This vulnerability is also known as the FREAK attack.

CVSS Base Score: 4.3

CVSS Temporal Score: See 
http://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/#/vulnerabilities/100691 for the current 
score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

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

CVEID: CVE-2015-0410

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the Security component 
could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

CVSS Base Score: 5

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100151 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

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

CVEID: CVE-2014-6593

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component has 
partial confidentiality impact, partial integrity impact, and no availability
impact.

CVSS Base Score: 4

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100153 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

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

CVEID: CVE-2015-0383

DESCRIPTION: An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE and JRockit 
related to the Hotspot component has no confidentiality impact, partial 
integrity impact, and complete availability impact.

This issue is only applicable on HP and Solaris platforms.

CVSS Base Score: 5.4

CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/100148 for the 
current score

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

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

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

Affected Products and Versions

The following product, running on all supported platforms, is affected:

IBM InfoSphere Information Server: versions 8.1, 8.5, 8.7, 9.1, and 11.3

Remediation/Fixes

Product 			VRMF 	APAR 		Remediation/First Fix

InfoSphere Information Server 	11.3 	JR52470 	--Follow instructions in the README
							--If the services tier is using WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 
							  then apply Websphere Application Server fix PI36563 for V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.5 
							  Full Profile

							--On all tiers, edit the <IS_HOME>/jdk/jre/lib/security/java.security 
							  file and turn off RC4 by adding: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3,RC4

InfoSphere Information Server 	9.1 	JR52470 	--Apply JR52470 on all tiers

							--Apply Websphere Application Server fix PI36563 for V7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.37

InfoSphere Information Server 	8.7 	JR52470 	Contact IBM customer support.

InfoSphere Information Server 	8.5 	JR52470 	Contact IBM customer support.

InfoSphere Information Server 	8.1 	None 		Contact IBM customer support.

For IBM InfoSphere Information Server version 8.0, IBM recommends upgrading to
a fixed, supported version of the product.

You should verify that applying this fix does not cause any compatibility 
issues. The fix disables RC4 stream cipher by default. If you change this 
setting you 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.

Additionally, perform the remediation step for the DataDirect Connect ODBC 
drivers per information in the "Workarounds and Mitigations" section.

Workarounds and Mitigations

For all InfoSphere Information Server releases, disable RC4 stream cipher 
usage in the Progress Software DataDirect Connect ODBC drivers. For details, 
refer to TechNote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21883537
