Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM QRadar / QRM / QVM / QRIF / QNI includes vulnerable components (e.g.,
framework libraries) that may be identified and exploited with automated tools.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2012-5784
Description: Apache Axis 1.4, as used in multiple products, could allow a
remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to verify
that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name
(CN) field of the X.509 certificate. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to spoof an SSL server and
launch further attacks against a vulnerable target.

Workarounds and Mitigations
For QRadar 7.2.8 Administrators
For users of IBM QRadar SIEM 7.2.8, administrators can mitigate this issue by
completing an upgrade to QRadar / QRM / QVM / QRIF / QNI 7.3.2 GA where the
vulnerable component has been removed from the product. Apache Axis is used for
internal configuration services (IPC), and the deployment editor in 7.2.8.
Using the Systems, and License Management icon in the administration panel
rather than the Deployment Editor for deployment related changes would help
mitigate the risk of CVE-2012-5784. For information on this upgrade path, see
the QRadar Upgrade Guide .
For QRadar 7.3.0/7.3.1 Administrators
See the Remediation/Fixes section to get the upgrade to QRadar 7.3.2.
