Vulnerability Details

IBM Jazz Team Server and the CLM applications (RRC, RTC, RQM, RDNG), RELM, Rhapsody DM, and RSA DM applications are affected by the following vulnerabilities disclosed in and corrected by the IBM® Java SDK updates in April and July 2015:

April 2015 vulnerabilities: CVEID: CVE-2015-0488**
DESCRIPTION:** An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See _<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/102336&gt;_ for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID: CVE-2015-0478**
DESCRIPTION:** An unspecified vulnerability related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See _<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/102339&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-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 Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101851&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-1916**
DESCRIPTION:** Server applications which use the IBM Java Secure Socket Extension provider to accept SSL/TLS connections are vulnerable to a denial of service attack due to an unspecified vulnerability.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See _<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/101995&gt;_ for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID: CVE-2015-0204**
DESCRIPTION:** A vulnerability in the OpenSSL ssl3_get_key_exchange function could allow a remote attacker to downgrade the security of certain TLS connections. An OpenSSL client accepts the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. This could allow a remote attacker using man-in-the-middle techniques to facilitate brute-force decryption of TLS/SSL traffic between vulnerable clients and servers. This vulnerability is also known as the FREAK attack.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/99707&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

July 2015 vulnerabilities:

CVEID: CVE-2015-2613**
DESCRIPTION:** An unspecified vulnerability and Java SE Embedded related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/104734 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-2601**
DESCRIPTION:** An unspecified vulnerability related to the JCE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/104733 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-2625**
DESCRIPTION:** An unspecified vulnerability related to the JSSE component could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 2.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/104743 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2015-1931**
DESCRIPTION:** IBM Java Security Components store plain text data in memory dumps, which could allow a local attacker to obtain information to aid in further attacks against the system.
CVSS Base Score: 2.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/102967&gt; for the current score

Remediation/Fixes

If your product is deployed on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and your deployment does not use an Eclipse based client nor the RM Browser plugin, then it is sufficient to continue using the existing version of the your Rational product, and only upgrade the JRE in the WAS server according to these instructions:
_ _Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Java SDK affect WebSphere Application Server July 2015 CPU

The July 2015 update contains all of the corrections from the April 2015 update. The April update is listed here for convenience, but upgrade to the July 2015 update to get all the corrections.
_ _Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Java SDK affect WebSphere Application Server April 2015 CPU

Otherwise:
Note: for any of the below remediations, if you are a WAS deployment, then WAS must also be upgraded, in addition to performing your product upgrades.
Upgrade your products to version 3.0.1.6 or 4.0.7 or5.0.2or6.0, apply the latest ifix, and then perform the following upgrades. Request the July 2015 CPU update for the IBM_®_ Java SDK:

How to update the IBM SDK for Java of IBM Rational products based on version 3.0.1.6 or later of IBM’s Jazz technology

• • For the 3.x releases of Rational Software Architect Design Manager and Rhapsody Design Manager, if you cannot upgrade to 4.0.7 or 5.0 or 6.0, contact IBM Support for guidance.
• For the 2.x releases, contact IBM Support for additional details on the fix.
