Description:
This Security Bulletin addresses the security vulnerabilities that have shipped with the IBM SDK for Java and is part of the Oracle February 2013 critical patch updates (CPU) and other security updates from Oracle. For details on these updates please refer to the Reference section of this bulletin or refer to the Problem Summary of the Interim Fixes.
Solutions:
Upgrade your SDK to an interim fix level as determined below:
For IBM WebSphere Application Server for distributed operating systems and IBM WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition:
Download and apply the interim fix APARs below, for your appropriate release:
For V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.0.2:
Note: PM86920 is the equivalent of PM84776 but will also apply to Fix pack 8.5.0.2 and PM86919 is the equivalent of PM84774 but will also apply to Fix pack 8.5.0.2. So if you installed these on top of V8.5.0.0 or V8.5.0.1 you do not need the updates below.
