Vulnerability Details

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&gt; 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
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

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&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

Affected Products and Versions

Principal Product and Version(s)

| Product Code
—|—
IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring for Virtual Environments Agent for VMware VI versions 6.1.0 , 6.1.2 , 6.2.1 , 6.2.2 , 6.2.3 , 7.1 , 7.2 , 7.2.0.2| KVM

Remediation/Fixes

VMware agent installs a Java runtime (J6 component) which is not the default Java runtime component installed by ITM framework (default is JM component on windows and JR component on non-windows).

The CVEs listed in the Vulnerability Details section above affect the Java shipped as part of the VMware VI agent.

To remediate the vulnerabilities do the following:
1. Follow the steps in the technote to update the VMware VI agent to use the JRE shipped as a shared component IBM Tivoli Monitoring (default is JM component on windows and JR component on non-windows).
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21883100.

2. Update the shared component Java (CANDLEHOME) using the patch(es) listed:
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6 JRE Update (6.X.X-TIV-ITM_JRE_CANDLEHOME-20160408 )
