Summary
There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM SDK Java Technology Edition, Version
6 and 7, that is used by IBM OS Images for Red Hat Linux Systems, AIX, and
Windows. These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in
July 2015.
This bulletin also addresses the Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the
Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol affects.
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".

Affected Products and Versions
IBM OS Image for Red Hat Linux Systems 3.0.0.0 and earlier.
IBM OS Image for AIX Systems 2.1.1.0 and earlier.
Remediation/Fixes
Virtual machines deployed from IBM PureApplication Systems are affected. This
includes RedHat Linux, AIX-based, and Windows-based deployments. The solution
is to apply the following IBM PureApplication System fix to the deployed
virtual machines.
Java Update for Windows
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/downloadFixes?parent=PureSystems&product=ibm/WebSphere/PureApplication+System&release=All&platform=All&function=fixId&fixids=Java_Update_Windows_CVE-2015-2590&includeRequisites=1&includeSupersedes=0
Java Update for Linux

Java Update for AIX
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/downloadFixes?parent=PureSystems&product=ibm/WebSphere/PureApplication+System&release=All&platform=All&function=fixId&fixids=Java_Update_AIX_CVE-2015-2590&includeRequisites=1&includeSupersedes=0
1. Import the fix into the Emergency Fix catalogue.
2. For deployed instances, apply this emergency fix on the VM.
3. Restart the deployed instance after the fix is applied.
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.
