Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) users of  *
    *                  IBM WebSphere Application Server using      *
    *                  Basic authentication                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The server writes all fields of a SIP   *
    *                      message to the log when SIP tracing     *
    *                      is enabled using Basic authentication   *
    *                      (not digest)                            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The problem occurs when the server receives a SIP message from
    the network, or sends a SIP message out to the network, and
    full SIP trace logging is enabled. The entire SIP message is
    written in the trace file, along with all header fields and
    the message body, including information that may be
    considered sensitive.
    
    For example, if you set the trace level in the application
    server to com.ibm.ws.sip.*=all, and the server receives a SIP
    "instant message", the message body is written to the trace
    log file:
    
    MESSAGE sips:[email protected] SIP/2.0
    Via: SIP/2.0/TLS user1pc.domain.com;branch=z9hG4bK776sgdkse
    Max-Forwards: 70
    From: sips:[email protected];tag=49583
    To: sips:[email protected]
    Call-ID: [email protected]
    CSeq: 1 MESSAGE
    Content-Type: text/plain
    Content-Length: 33
    
    Hey buddy, can you keep a secret?
    
    
    This SIP message was sent securely over the network to the
    server, but having full SIP tracing enabled, it is written in
    cleartext form to the server's trace log.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem is fixed by introducing 3 new custom properties in
    the SIP container that control the message fields that are
    hidden in the trace log:
    
    o javax.sip.hide.message.body - A flag (true/false)
    specifying whether or not to hide the SIP message content.
    o javax.sip.hide.message.headers - A comma-separated list of
    header field names that will be hidden.
    o javax.sip.hide.request.uri - A flag specifying whether or
    not to hide the request URI.
    
    For example, consider these settings:
    javax.sip.hide.message.body=true
    javax.sip.hide.message.headers=From,To
    javax.sip.hide.request.uri=true
    
    With this configuration, the same message from the example above
    would be printed to the trace log exactly like this:
    
    MESSAGE <hidden request URI> SIP/2.0
    Via: SIP/2.0/TLS user1pc.domain.com;branch=z9hG4bK776sgdkse
    Max-Forwards: 70
    From: <hidden value>
    To: <hidden value>
    Call-ID: [email protected]
    CSeq: 1 MESSAGE
    Content-Type: text/plain
    Content-Length: 33
    
    <hidden body>
    
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.11.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
