instructions are provided in the tech-note "Updating the JRE for DB2
Recovery Expert for Linux, UNIX and Windows".
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify
areas that enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and
remediation actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken
is disabling SSLv3. You should verify disabling SSLv3 does not cause any
compatibility issues.
Workarounds and Mitigations
None.
