Summary
The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key
exchange protocol affects IBM Algo Credit Manager.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-4000
DESCRIPTION: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain
sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT
ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using
man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade
cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session
key as well as modify the contents of the traffic. This vulnerability is
commonly referred to as "Logjam".
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294 for the current
score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
Affected Products and Versions
Algo Credit Manager 5.2.0
Remediation/Fixes
None
Workarounds and Mitigations
To disable DHE cipher suites on your IBM Algo Credit Manager server
installation, edit
$JRT_HOME/platform/<linux64|AIX>/jre/jre/lib/security/java.security. Find the
line jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3 and change it to
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DHE
You should verify applying this configuration change does not cause any
compatibility issues. If you change the default setting after applying the
fix, you will expose yourself to the attack described above. IBM recommends
that you review your entire environment to identify other areas where you have
enabled the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol used in TLS and take
appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.
