This bulletin also addresses the Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol affects.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2015-4000**
DESCRIPTION:** The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session key as well as modify the contents of the traffic. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as “Logjam”.

Affected Products and Versions

IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 4.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.1, and 3.2.0.

Remediation/Fixes

The recommended solution is to apply the corresponding fix to IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager. To select the fix you need to apply in your environment, click on ‘Download Link’ in the table below.

• If you are running IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 4.1, please apply fixpack IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 4.1.0.1.
• If you are running IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 3.2.2, please apply interim fix IF0010 of this product version. You can apply this iFix on top of any fixpack of version 3.2.2.
• If you are running IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 3.2.1, please apply interim fix IF0010 of this product version. You can apply this iFix on top of any fixpack of version 3.2.1.
• If you are running IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 3.2.0, please apply interim fix IF0010 of this product version. You can apply this iFix on top of any fixpack of version 3.2.0.

Additionally, you need to install the corresponding fix from IBM WebSphere Application Server. Please follow this link for details: <http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21962931&gt;. You need to apply the fix for IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 if you run IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 4.1, and you need to apply the fix for IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 if you run IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 3.2.2, 3.2.1, or 3.2.0.

You should verify applying this configuration change does not cause any compatibility issues. If you change the default setting after applying the fix, you will expose yourself to the attack described above. IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify other areas where you have enabled the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol used in TLS and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.

_For IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 3.1 _IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version/release/platform of the product.
