Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting the        *
    *                 software to prepare data for ArcSight SIEM.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The zSecure Audit ArcSight SIEM         *
    *                      interface might generate CEF files that *
    *                      contain IPv6 address values for 'src'   *
    *                      and 'dst' keys so that these values     *
    *                      cannot be processed by the ArcSight     *
    *                      receiver.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When IPv6 addresses are present in the SMF record, the zSecure
    Audit ArcSight SIEM interface writes such addresses to a CEF
    file using 'src'/'dst' keys, so that the corresponding CEF
    records cannot be processed by the ArcSight event receiver.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that the IPv6 addresses
    are written to a CEF file using c6a2 and c6a3 keys so that the
    ArcSight event receiver processes the corresponding CEF records
    correctly.
