CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P)

Affected Products and Versions

Rational Test Control Panel component in Rational Test Virtualization Server and Rational Test Workbench versions:

  • All 8.0.x
  • All 8.5.0.x

Versions 8.5.1 and later are unaffected as they do not use Apache Tomcat.

Remediation/Fixes

The fixes for the CVE(s) mentioned above have been incorporated into the 7.0.54 release of Apache Tomcat.

Upgrade your installation as follows:

  1. Download one of the following fixes from Fix Central:
  2. Unzip the download to a directory.

  3. Stop the server.

  4. In the existing RTCP installation, save the files logging.properties and server.xml to a separate location. The default installation locations for these files are:
    • Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalTestControlPanel\conf\
    • AIX, Linux, Solaris: /opt/IBM/RationalTestControlPanel/conf/

  5. Copy the contents of the unzipped Tomcat directory (except for the LICENSE file) into the RationalTestControlPanel directory, overwriting the existing files.

  6. Copy the two configuration files you saved earlier back into the conf directory.

  7. Start the server.

Notes:
  • When updating an installation to a later version of Rational Test Control Panel, the security fix detailed above will have to be re-applied after the RTCP update.
  • When removing an installation that has had the security fix applied, not all the files will be removed by IBM Installation Manager, and some files will have to be removed manually.
