The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol affects the IBM Installation Manager and IBM Packaging Utility.
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”.

Please note that the 1.7.4.3 fix is intended for upgrade of 1.7.4.2 and earlier versions which continue support on platforms that are NOT supported by 1.8 or later versions.
Users running 1.7.4.2 or earlier version on platforms that ARE supported by 1.8.x version, should upgrade to 1.8.3 and implement the work around described below.

_1.8.4 IBM Packaging Utility Remediation
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.
For the 1.8.x releases, you can work around this vulnerability by disabling DH and DHE cipher suites. This can be achieved by adding the DH andDHEcipher suites to the list of disabled algorithms defined by thejdk.tls.disabledAlgorithmssecurity property injava.security file. This does NOT include ciphers that have ECDH or ECDHE in the name; these are elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman ciphers and they are not affected.
