Security Bulletin


Summary

Embedded Websphere Application Server (eWAS) is shipped as a component of Tivoli Common Reporting (TCR). Information about a security vulnerability affecting Embedded Websphere Application Server has been published in a security bulletin.

Vulnerability Details

Please consult the WAS security bulletin Security Bulletin: Potential security vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server if FIPS 140-2 is enabled (CVE-2016-0306) for vulnerability details
Important Note: The Websphere security bulletin above provides the vulnerability details including the steps to remediate. However, it is important to review the "Remediation/Fixes" section below before reviewing the Websphere bulletin to ensure the TCR specific remediation steps are understood and followed.

Affected Products and Versions

TCR version 2.1 and 2.1.1 bundling Embedded Websphere Application Server version 7.0

Remediation/Fixes

The Websphere security bulletin above provides a link to the required iFix to remediate the vulnerability. However, the iFix requires either eWAS 7.0.0.37 or eWAS 7.0.0.39 installed. TCR does not support upgrading Websphere fixpack independently. TIP 2.2.0.17 must be applied which will upgrade eWAS to 7.0.0.39. Once TIP 2.2.0.17 has been applied, the Websphere iFix can be applied as described in the Websphere bulletin.
