Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Java SDK affects multiple IBM Rational products based on IBM Jazz technology (CVE-2014-6593, CVE-2015-0383, CVE-2015-0410, CVE-2015-0138)

Security Bulletin


Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® SDK Java Technology Edition, Version 1.6 that is used by IBM Jazz Team Server affecting the following IBM Jazz Team Server based Applications: Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), Rational Requirements Composer (RRC), Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG), Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager (RELM), Rational Team Concert (RTC), Rational Quality Manager (RQM), Rational Rhapsody Design Manager (Rhapsody DM), and Rational Software Architect (RSA DM). These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2015. This bulletin also addresses the “FREAK: Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT keys" TLS/SSL client and server vulnerability.

Vulnerability Details

IBM Jazz Team Server and the CLM applications (RRC, RTC, RQM, RDNG), RELM, Rhapsody DM, and RSA DM applications are affected by the following vulnerabilities disclosed in and corrected by the IBM® Java SDK updates in January 2015:

CVEID: CVE-2015-0138
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability in various IBM SSL/TLS implementations could allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain SSL/TLS connections. An IBM SSL/TLS client implementation could accept the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. This could allow a remote attacker using man-in-the-middle techniques to facilitate brute-force decryption of TLS/SSL traffic between vulnerable clients and servers.

This vulnerability is also known as the FREAK attack.

Remediation/Fixes

If your product is deployed on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and your deployment does not use an Eclipse based client nor the RM Browser plugin, then it is sufficient to continue using the existing version of the your Rational product, and only upgrade the JRE in the WAS server according to these instructions:
Security Bulletin: Vulnerability with RSA Export Keys may affect IBM WebSphere Application Server (CVE-2015-0138)

Otherwise:
Note: for any of the below remediations, if you are a WAS deployment, then WAS must also be upgraded, in addition to performing your product upgrades.
Upgrade your products to version 3.0.1.6 or 4.0.7 or 5.0.2 or later, apply the latest ifix, and then perform the following upgrades:

How to update the IBM SDK for Java of IBM Rational products based on version 3.0.1.6 or later of IBM's Jazz technology

  • For the 3.x releases of Rational Software Architect Design Manager and Rhapsody Design Manager, if you cannot upgrade to 4.0.7 or 5.0, contact IBM Support for guidance.
  • For the 2.x releases, contact IBM Support for additional details on the fix.
  • For the 1.x releases of Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, contact IBM Support for additional details on the fix.
