for Linux, Unix and Windows

Security Bulletin

Document information

Software version: 5.1.0
Operating system(s): AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows
Reference #: 0742763
Modified date: 28 November 2018

Summary

There is vulnerability in IBM(R) Runtime Environment Java(TM) Version Java 1.8.0 SR5
FP16 and earlier used by DB2 Recovery Expert for Linux, Unix and Windows. These
issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in Oct. 2018.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-3180

 

DESCRIPTION: Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component
of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: JSSE). Supported versions that are affected
are Java SE: 6u201, 7u191, 8u182 and 11; Java SE Embedded: 8u181; JRockit:
R28.3.19. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker
with network access via SSL/TLS to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded,
JRockit. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit
accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE,
Java SE Embedded, JRockit accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a
partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit.
Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients
running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets (in
Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g. code that comes from the
internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability can
also be exploited by using APIs in the specified Component, e.g. through a web
service which supplies data to the APIs.
CVSS Base Score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
151497 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

Workarounds and Mitigations

There are no workarounds except to replace to the latest JRE.
To solve the problem without updating the entire Recovery Expert product, the
user can replace the existing JRE that is installed into the product
installation tree in the "jre" directory with a newer JRE that includes the
security fixes.

Instructions to replace the IBM JRE for DB2 Recovery Expert for Linux, UNIX and
Windows

1. Identify the version and platform of your DB2 Recovery Expert installation.
2. See the table below to find the IBM JRE download link that matches your
product version and platform. If you cannot find a JRE download link for your
product version and platform, contact IBM Technical Support and refer to this
tech-note
3. Download the zip file (for example: ibm-java-jre-x.x-x.x-linux-x86_64.tgz)
and extract it to a folder on a local file system (for example: /tmp/
ibm-jre-x.x-x.x).
4. Stop the DB2 Recovery Expert server using the stop.sh command (for example:
/opt/ibm/RE/stop.sh).
5. Back-up and then delete the contents of the "jre" folder from your product
installation directory (for example: /opt/ibm/RE/jre).
6. Copy the contents of the "jre" folder from the latest IBM JRE that you
downloaded in Step 3 (for example: /tmp/ibm-jre-x.x-x.x/jre/) to the "jre"
folder in your product installation directory (for example: /opt/ibm/RE/jre/).*
7. Ensure that the file permissions for the new JRE files and folders match the
file permissions for the original JRE files and folders. If necessary, set 775
recursively.
8. Restart the DB2 Recovery Expert server using the start.sh command (for
example: /opt/ibm/RE/start.sh).

* NOTE: You must repeat from Step 6 again any time you install an APAR or
upgrade to an affected version of DB2 Recovery Expert.
