Summary

The RC4 Bar Mitzvah Attack for SSL/TLS affects IBM Cognos Planning

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

Workarounds and Mitigations

The RC4 cipher suites must be disabled using Cognos Configuration by 
performing the following actions:

1) Start Cognos Configuration

2) Navigate to Security/Cryptography/Cognos

3) Open the supported cipher suites selection dialog

4) Select all cipher suites that have RC4 in the the name and remove them from
the Current Values List. Select OK to save the new list.

5) Save and restart your service using Cognos Configuration.

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.
