Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Diffie-Hellman ciphers affects
sendmail on AIX (CVE-2015-4000)
===============================================================================
SUMMARY:
The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key
exchange protocol affects sendmail when using the sendmail_ssl binary on
AIX.
===============================================================================
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

REMEDIATION:
A. APARS
IBM has assigned the following APARs to this problem:
Please note that these only apply to the SSL-enabled
sendmail binary, /usr/sbin/sendmail_ssl. The default
sendmail bindary, /usr/sbin/sendmail, is not vulnerable
to the Logjam attack.
AIX Level APAR Availability SP KEY
---------------------------------------------------
5.3.12 IV75967 N/A N/A key_w_apar
6.1.8 IV75644 N/A N/A key_w_apar
6.1.9 IV75643 12/04/15 SP6 key_w_apar
7.1.2 IV75645 N/A N/A key_w_apar
7.1.3 IV75646 2/26/16 SP6 key_w_apar
Subscribe to the APARs here:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV75643
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV75646
By subscribing, you will receive periodic email alerting you
to the status of the APAR, and a link to download the fix once
it becomes available.
B. FIXES
Fixes are available. Please note that the sendmail_ssl fixes
require a current version of OpenSSL that includes the Logjam
fix. Please see the previously published OpenSSL bulletin:
http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory14.asc
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory14.asc
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_advisory14.asc
The sendmail_ssl fixes can be downloaded via ftp or http from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/sendmail_fix2.tar
http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/sendmail_fix2.tar
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/sendmail_fix2.tar
The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
advisory, fix packages, and OpenSSL signatures for each package.
The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
Technology Levels.
Please note that these only apply to the SSL-enabled
sendmail binary, /usr/sbin/sendmail_ssl. The default
sendmail bindary, /usr/sbin/sendmail, is not vulnerable
to the Logjam attack.
AIX Level Interim Fix (*.Z) KEY
------------------------------------------------
| 5.3.12.9 IV75967m9a.150817.epkg.Z key_w_fix
6.1.8.6 IV75644m6a.150731.epkg.Z key_w_fix

To extract the fixes from the tar file:
tar xvf sendmail_fix2.tar
cd sendmail_fix2
Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:
The checksums below were generated using the
"openssl dgst -sha256 file" command as the followng:

These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
[email protected] and describe the discrepancy.
openssl dgst -sha1 -verify <pubkey_file> -signature <advisory_file>.sig <advisory_file>
openssl dgst -sha1 -verify <pubkey_file> -signature <ifix_file>.sig <ifix_file>

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 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.
WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:
None.
