Affected Products and Versions

Remediation/Fixes

Java Tivoli Enterprise Portal 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 in to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal by 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 provides updated JRE packages for the portal server, which can be downloaded by new client systems. Once the fix is installed on the portal server, instructions in the readme file can be used to download the updated JRE from the portal to the portal clients.

Java (CANDLEHOME) Remediation:
The patch can be installed and updates the shared Tivoli Enterprise-supplied JRE (jr component on UNIX/Linux) or embedded JVM (JM component on Windows).
