CVEID: CVE-2016-2183
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the
SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between
the SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a
man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the
plaintext data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is
known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.

Remediation/Fixes
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
If your product is deployed on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and
your deployment does not use an Eclipse based client nor the RM Browser
plugin, then it is sufficient to continue using the existing version
of your IBM Rational product, and only upgrade the JRE in the WAS server.
For the below remediations, if you are a WAS deployment, then WAS
must also be remediated, in addition to performing your product
upgrades. Follow instructions at Security Bulletin: Multiple
vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affects WebSphere Application Server
January 2017 CPU to get the WAS remediation .
If you are deploying the Rational products to a WAS Liberty or a Tomcat
Server, you will need to follow the instructions below to upgrade the
JRE, and then must also configure to complete the upgrade process:
3.1. Stop the server: Navigate to the Server directory in
your Ratonal product installation path and run this script:
server.shutdown
3.2. Navigate to the server directory in your Rational product
installation path, open server.startup script using prefered
text editor (e.g., Notepad for Windows or Vim Editor for Linux)
and add one more option to the healthcenter parameter set:
Search parameter
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent in
server.startup script to find the line containing the
health center parameter.
NOTE: For some Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management
versions, -Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent
parameter may not be found in the server.startup, in this
case the update is not needed and you can start using
your server.
Windows:
Modify the line (where HEALTHCENTER_OPTS parameter located)
by adding a new healthcenter option:
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.transport=jrmp
Before modification:
set HEALTHCENTER_OPTS=-agentlib:healthcenter
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.port=1972
After modification:
set HEALTHCENTER_OPTS=-agentlib:healthcenter
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.port=1972
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.transport=jrmp
Linux:
Modify the line (where HEALTHCENTER_OPTS parameter
located) by adding a new healthcenter option:
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.transport=jrmp
Before modification:
export HEALTHCENTER_OPTS="-agentlib:healthcenter
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.port=1972"
After modification:
export HEALTHCENTER_OPTS="-agentlib:healthcenter
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.port=1972
-Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent.transport=jrmp"
3.3. Start the server. Navigate to the Server directory in
your Rational product installation path and run this script:
server.startup .
STEPS TO APPLY THE REMEDIATION:
1. Upgrade your products to a supported version: 4.0.7, 5.0.2, 6.0.2,
or 6.0.3
2. Apply the latest ifix for your installed version.
3. Obtain the January 2017 CPU update for the IBM Java SDK.
