CVEID: CVE-2016-2183**
DESCRIPTION:** OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between the SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the plaintext data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.

Affected Products and Versions

The following components of IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) are affected by this bulletin:

-Java (CANDLEHOME) ITM 6.2.3 Fix Pack 1 (JRE 1.6) through 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 (JRE 7) (CVE-2016-5546, CVE-2016-5548, CVE-2016-5549, CVE-2016-5547 and CVE-2016-2183)
-Java (Tivoli Enterprise Portal client browser or webstart) ITM 6.2.3 Fix pack 1 through 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 (All CVE’s listed)

Remediation/Fixes

Java (TEP) Remediation:
These vulnerabilities exist where the affected Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed on systems running the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser client or Java WebStart client. The affected JRE is installed on a system when logging into the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal using the Browser client or WebStart client and a JRE at the required level does not exist. The portal provides an option to download the provided JRE to the system.

This fix below provides updated JRE packages for the portal server which can be downloaded by new client systems. Once the fix has been installed on the portal server, instructions in the README can be used to download the updated JRE from the portal to the portal clients.

Java (CANDLEHOME) Remediation:
The patch below should be installed which will update the shared Tivoli Enterprise-supplied JRE (jr component on UNIX/Linux) or Embedded JVM (JVM component on Windows).
