Affected Products and Versions

IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal v2.2

Remediation/Fixes

None

Workarounds and Mitigations

For products using TIP v2.2, the recommendation is to migrate to a version of the product that uses Dashboard Application Services Hub (DASH) v3.1.3 (which is a component of Jazz for Service Management (JazzSM) v1.1.3) and apply DASH 3.1.3 Cumulative Patch 5.

Additional information: TIP v2.2 bundles embedded WebSphere Application Server (eWAS) v7 and this version of eWAS bundles Java v6, which is no longer supported. To address all listed CVEs the minimum Java version required is v7. As a result, we recommend you apply the workaround described above to mitigate the CVEs included in this bulletin.
