Affected Products and Versions

All versions of IBM UrbanCode Deploy are vulnerable if used with an affected version of IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition. IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, Version 1.7.0 SR 5, which was shipped with IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.1.1 and 6.0, is among the versions affected.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns 6.1.0, 6.1.0.1, 6.1.0.2, 6.1.1, 6.1.1.1, 6.1.1.2, 6.1.1.3, and 6.1.1.4 embed an affected version of Java.

Remediation/Fixes

If using IBM UrbanCode Deploy with an affected version of Java, remove the installation, and install one of the following fixed releases below:

• IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, Version 6 Service Refresh 16 Fix Pack 4 and subsequent releases

• IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, Version 6R1 Service Refresh 8 Fix Pack 4 and subsequent releases

• IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, Version 7 Service Refresh 9 and subsequent releases

IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition is available for download here. For Windows and Solaris environments, updated IBM UrbanCode Deploy Java Runtime Environments for 6.0.1 and 6.1.1 are available as interim fixes.

Additional configuration steps are required, as detailed below.

Note: The instructions below should only be used for switching between versions of IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition. Do not attempt to switch between Java vendors using these instructions.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy Server
After installing the new version of IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, change the following line of the <server install directory>/conf/server/installed.properties file:

install.java.home=<path to new version of Java``>
Also, the value of JAVA_HOME will have to be changed in the executable scripts in the <server install directory>/bin directory.

On UNIX systems, the line:

JAVA_HOME="<path to old version of Java``>" must be changed to reflect the new JAVA_HOME in the set-env, init/server, and init/_server scripts.

On Windows systems, the line:

set JAVA_HOME=<path to old version of Java``> must be changed to reflect the new JAVA_HOME in the set_env.cmd, service/service.cmd, and service/_service.cmd scripts.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy Agents
After installing the new version of IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, change the following line of the <agent install directory>/conf/agent/installed.properties file:

I``BM\ UrbanCode\ Deploy/java.home=``<path to new version of Java``>
Also, the value of JAVA_HOME will have to be changed in the executable scripts in the <agent install directory>/bin directory.

On UNIX systems, the line:

JAVA_HOME="<path to old version of Java``>" must be changed to reflect the new JAVA_HOME in the agent, configure-agent, and init/agent scripts.

On Windows systems, the line:

set JAVA_HOME=<path to old version of Java``> must be changed to reflect the new JAVA_HOME in the agent.cmd, configure-agent.cmd, and service/_agent.cmd scripts.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy Agent Relays
After installing the new version of IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, the value of JAVA_HOME must be changed to reflect the new JAVA_HOME in the executable scripts in the <relay install directory>/bin directory.

In the agentrelay and init/agentrelay scripts, change the line:

JAVA_HOME="<path to old version of Java``>"
In the agentrelay.cmd and service/_agentrelay.cmd scripts, change the line:

set JAVA_HOME=<path to old version of Java``>

IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns
For IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns, upgrade to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.1.2 component, which embeds IBM Java Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition, Version 1.7.1 SR3 Fixpack 10.
