Security Bulletin
Summary
The LogJam Attack on Diffie-Hellman ciphers (CVE-2015-4000) may affect some
configurations of IBM WebSphere Application Server Full Profile and IBM
WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile that are shipped as a component
of WebSphere Lombardi Edition and IBM Business Process Manager. The IBM HTTP
Server used by WebSphere Application Server is not affected.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-4000
DESCRIPTION: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT
ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using
man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade
cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session
key as well as modify the contents of the traffic. This vulnerability is
commonly referred to as "Logjam".
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Affected Products and Versions
IBM Business Process Manager V7.5.x through V8.5.6.0
WebSphere Lombardi Edition V7.2.0.x
For earlier unsupported versions of the products, IBM recommends upgrading to
a fixed, supported version of the product.
Remediation/Fixes
Please consult the security bulletin Security Bulletin: Vulnerability with
Diffie-Hellman ciphers may affect IBM WebSphere Application Server
(CVE-2015-4000) for vulnerability details and information about fixes.
The following setting in java.secruity allows you to reenable ciphers using DH
and DHE key exchange that you had to disable as a temporary workaround:
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize <768
Workarounds and Mitigations
None
