Security Bulletin: Multiple security vulnerabilities in GSKit used by Edge Caching proxy of WebSphere Application Server

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-1447
DESCRIPTION: The GSKit (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 7.2) and (IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot 4.1.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.6) CMS KDB logic fails to salt the hash function resulting in weaker than expected protection of passwords. A weak password may be recovered. Note: After update the customer should change password to ensure the new password is stored more securely. Products should encourage customers to take this step as a high priority action. IBM X-Force ID: 139972.
