Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2019-2699
DESCRIPTION: Oracle's JREs/JDKs on Windows ship with an old version of a
Microsoft DLL which contains a vulnerability.
CVSS Base Score: 9
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
159791 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2019-2698
DESCRIPTION: An attacker can use a maliciously crafted font to exploit a flaw
in the JDK's font parsing code to overwrite memory addresses and cause a crash.
Untrusted code running under a security manager may be able to elevate its
privileges and execute arbitrary code.
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
159790 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2019-2697
DESCRIPTION: An attacker can use a maliciously crafted font to exploit a flaw
in the JDK's font parsing code to overwrite memory addresses and cause a crash.
Untrusted code running under a security manager may be able to elevate its
privileges and execute arbitrary code.
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
159789 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2019-2602
DESCRIPTION: A flaw in the java.math.BigDecimal API causes hangs when parsing
certain String values. This potentially allows an attacker to inflict a
denial-of-service.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
159698 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2019-2684
DESCRIPTION: The Java runtime's java.rmi.Registry implementation does not check
access privileges correctly for some remote calls. This allows an attacker to
effectively replace a number of predefined static skeleton classes with dynamic
malicious skeletons.
CVSS Base Score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/

CVEID: CVE-2019-10245
DESCRIPTION: A flaw in the OpenJ9 class verifier potentially allows untrusted
code to elevate its privileges and execute arbitrary code.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5

1. Download IBM JRE 7.0 x86_64 from the following location: http://www.ibm.com
/support/fixcentral by keyword 'Runtimes for Java Technology'. (For POWER
platform, download ppc64 version JRE tar package. The followings steps are
using x86_64 as an example.)
2. Copy the tar package into the management node. If high availability is
enabled, copy the JRE tar package to standby management node, as well.
3. If high availability is enabled, shutdown standby management node to avoid
triggering high availability.
4. On the management node, stop GUI and PERF services
# pcmadmin service stop --group ALL
5. On management node, extract new JRE files and replace some old folders with
new ones.
# chmod +x ibm-java-x86_64-jre-7.0-10.45.bin
# ./ibm-java-x86_64-jre-7.0-10.45.bin
# mv /opt/pcm/jre/bin /opt/pcm/jre/bin-old
# mv /opt/pcm/jre/lib /opt/pcm/jre/lib-old
# mv /opt/pcm/jre/plugin /opt/pcm/jre/plugin-old
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/bin /opt/pcm/jre/
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/lib /opt/pcm/jre/
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/plugin /opt/pcm/jre/
# mv /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/bin /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/
linux-x86_64/bin-old
# mv /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/lib /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/
linux-x86_64/lib-old
# mv /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/plugin /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/
linux-x86_64/plugin-old
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/bin /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/lib /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/
# cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-70/jre/plugin /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/linux-x86_64/
6. On management node, start GUI and PERF services
# pcmadmin service start --group ALL
7. If high availability is enabled, start up standby management node, and
replace bin, lib, plugin folders under /opt/pcm/web-portal/jre/
linux-x86_64, on standby management node.
