Affected Products and Versions

IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3
IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0
IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0

Remediation/Fixes

The solution is to apply the following IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool version fixes.

Upgrade the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool to the following fix levels or higher:

 ForIBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3

 IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3 Build 23
 For IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0

 IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0 Build 38
 ForIBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0

 IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0 Build 7

IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling SSLv3. You should verify disabling SSLv3 does not cause any compatibility issues.
