APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
3DES is an old symmetric algorithm which may cause a
vulnerability known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack. 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.
At a high level, the suggested remediation is to disable (by
default) 3DES for TLS or VPN.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'SE65684' :
-------------------------------
For CIMOM server, in order to avoid the potential risk of 3DES,
this fix disables 3DES in cipher suite(by default) for TLS or
VPN.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'SE65684' :
----------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions

None.




Special Instructions

********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

1. Stop CIMOM server.
2. Install this CIMOM PTF SI62516.
3. This CIMOM PTF set prereq PTFs SI50077(5770SS1 V7R1M0) and distreq
MF99007(5770999 V7R1M0). But please double check to make sure SI50077
and MF99007 are already installed on the system before startup CIMOM.


In order to enable this fix, you should do:
1. Stop CIMOM server.
2. Make sure OpenSSL version 0.9.8 or above is installed. The minimum
PTF version for V6R1 is SI49904.
3. Install CIMOM PTF SI61209.
4. Back up default key file path
"/Qopensys/QIBM/UserData/UME/Pegasus/ssl/keystore". Then delete this
directory and all the files under this. Please note default key file
path could be configured by changing server property sslKeyFilePath and
sslCertificateFilePath.
5. Start CIMOM server, a new certificate should be automatically
created under "/Qopensys/QIBM/UserData/UME/Pegasus/ssl/keystore".


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
