Summary

There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM SDK Java Technology Edition, Version 7 and IBM Runtime Environment Java Technology Edition, Version 7 that is used by IBM Rational Functional Tester. This also includes a fix for the Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) SSLv3 vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566). These were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in October 2014.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2014-3065

Description: IBM Java SDK contains a vulnerability in which the default configuration for the shared classes feature potentially allows arbitrary code to be injected into the shared classes cache, which may subsequently be executed by other local users.

CVSS Base Score: 6 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/93629&gt; for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:H/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C)

CVEID: CVE-2014-3566

Description: Product could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a design error when using the SSLv3 protocol. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability via a POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt SSL sessions and access the plaintext of encrypted connections.

CVSS Base Score: 4.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/97013&gt; for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2014-6511

Description: An unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Java SE related to the 2D component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.

CVSS Base Score: 5 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/97140&gt; for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

Affected Products and Versions

Rational Functional Tester version 8.0 and later.

Remediation/Fixes

Vendor Fixes:

Note: If you are unable to upgrade, contact IBM Support.

Workarounds and Mitigations

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.

Until the fixes are applied, ensure that RFT is not accessible from the Internet.
