There are multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Runtime Environment Java™ Technology Edition, Versions 6, 7, and 8, that are used by FileNet Content Manager, IBM Content Foundation and FileNet BPM. These issues were disclosed as part of the IBM Java SDK updates in January 2016.
CVEID: CVE-2015-7575**
DESCRIPTION:** The TLS protocol could allow weaker than expected security caused by a collision attack when using the MD5 hash function for signing a ServerKeyExchange message during a TLS handshake. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to impersonate a TLS server and obtain credentials. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as “SLOTH”.
CVSS Base Score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/109415 for the current score

In the above table, the APAR links will provide more information about the fix.
The links in the Remediation column will take you to the location within IBM Fix Central where you can download the particular fix you need.
The new JREs that are supplied by the above fixes resolve the CVE-2015-7575 (SLOTH) vulnerability.
Note that CSS 5.1 uses Java 6 and has issued a patch.
CSS 5.2.0 and CSS 5.2.1 use Java 8 and are not issuing a patch at this time because the vulnerability can be eliminated as follows:
For CVE-2015-7575:
Users of Java 7 and later can address the issue by updating the /jre/lib/security/java.security file as follows (both steps are required):
· Add MD5 to the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g. jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024, MD5
· Add MD5withRSA to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g. jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize < 768, MD5withRSA
Note: If you install a Java fix pack, that will overwrite the above java.security file changes.
