Security Bulletin
Summary
The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key
exchange protocol affects Rational Synergy
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

Rational Synergy release 7.2.0.7 ifix01 or earlier.
Remediation/Fixes
Product VRMF APAR Remediation/First Fix
Rational Synergy 7.2.0.x and 7.2.1.x N/A Replace the JRE used in Rational Synergy.
Steps to download and replace JRE in Rational Synergy:
1. Open the list of Synergy downloads on Fix Central
2. Select the SDK and Readme for Rational Synergy which
applied to your release as follows:
Note: The fix will use the following naming convention:
<V.R.M.F> -Rational-RATISYNE-JavaSE-SDK-6.0.16.5- <platform>
Where <V.R.M.F> = release & <platform> = operating system
o Rational Synergy 7.2.1 (uses 7.2.1.3 release designation)
Example: 7.2.1.3-Rational-RATISYNE-JavaSE-SDK-6.0.16.5-Linux
o Rational Synergy 7.2.0 (uses 7.2.0.7 release designation)
Example: 7.2.0.7-Rational-RATISYNE-JavaSE-SDK-6.0.16.5-Windows
3. Follow the steps in the Install instructions to replace the JRE.
Follow the steps in the HPUX_Install Instructions to replace the JRE if your
Synergy Platform is on HPUX
For Rational Synergy 7.1.0.x IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported
version/release/platform of the product.
You should verify applying this configuration change does not cause any
compatibility issues. If you change the default setting after applying the
fix, 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 Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol used in TLS and take
appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.
To verify if Synergy has JRE version to address this security vulnerability:-
Open a command prompt
Unix:-
Go to $CCM_HOME/jre/bin folder
Execute ./java -version
Windows:-
Go to %CCM_HOME%\jre\bin folder
Execute java -version
If in the output version is greater than SR16 FP5 or if it is SR16 FP5, It
implies the run area has jre version that addressed this security
vulnerability.
Example:-
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260sr16fp5-20150602_01(SR16 FP5))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows 7 x86-32
jvmwi3260sr16fp4-201
Workarounds and Mitigations
