Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in RC4 stream cipher
affects AIX (CVE-2015-2808)

===============================================================================

SUMMARY:

The RC4 .Bar Mitzvah. Attack for SSL/TLS affects IBM Tivoli/Security 

| Directory Server, IBM SDK for Java, IBM SDK for Node.js, ftpd, sendmail
| when using the sendmail_ssl binary, imapd, and popd on AIX.

===============================================================================

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:

CVEID: CVE-2015-2808
    https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2015-2808


DESCRIPTION:

    The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, 
    could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An 
    attacker could exploit this vulnerability to remotely expose account 
    credentials without requiring an active man-in-the-middle session. 
    Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to retrieve credit 
    card data or other sensitive information. This vulnerability is 
    commonly referred to as "Bar Mitzvah Attack".


CVSS:

    CVSS Base Score: 5
    CVSS Temporal Score: See
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101851 for the 
    current score
    CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
    CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

| C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

| IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
| of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
| readable before proceeding.

| To preview a fix installation:

| installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the
| # fix package being previewed.
| To install a fix package:

| installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the
| # fix package being installed.

| Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
| testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
| for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.

| Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

| http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

| To preview an interim fix installation:

| emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
| # interim fix package being previewed.

| To install an interim fix package:

| emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
| # interim fix package being installed.

    You should verify applying these fixes do not cause any 
    compatibility issues. The fix disables RC4 stream cipher by default. 
    If you change this setting 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 RC4 
    stream cipher and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.


WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:

    For Java 7.0 and 7.1:  
    1. Disabling RC4. The can be achieved by adding RC4 to the list of 
        disabled algorithms defined by the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
        security property in java.security file.
    2. Not explicit enabling the RC4 cipher suite(s).
    3. For HttpsURLConnection, set https.cipherSuites system property to 
        not include RC4 cipher suites.
    4. Configure to be in FIPS 140-2, Suite B or SP800-131a transition or 
        strict compliance 

    You should verify applying this configuration change does not cause 
    any compatibility issues. Not disabling the RC4 stream cipher 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 RC4 stream cipher and take appropriate mitigation 
    and remediation actions.
