Affected Products and Versions

The following Application Platform versions are affected.
· IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.4.1 and earlier versions
· IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.3.2.2 and earlier versions
· IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.2.1 and earlier versions

Remediation/Fixes

The recommended solution is to apply the fix for each named product as soon as practical. Please see below for information on the fixes available.

This vulnerability was resolved originally in the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform fix packs 3.4.1.1, and 3.3.2.3. Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, IBM strongly recommends an upgrade to the latest TRIRIGA Application Platform release and fix pack. Anyone running IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform prior to 3.3.0 should contact customer support. Instructions on how to download and install the platform fix pack can be found here: IBM Fix Central .

Workarounds and Mitigations

Until you apply the fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of successful attack by restricting network protocols required by an attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access the packages from unprivileged users may help reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break application functionality, so IBM strongly recommends that customers test changes on non-production systems. Neither approach should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the underlying problem.
