The IBM JRE installed with Rational Insight is based on the Oracle JRE and the IBM Java SDK installed with WAS is based on the Oracle JDK. Oracle has released Critical Patch Updates (CPU) January 2014 which contain security vulnerability fixes and the IBM JRE and Java SDK have been updated to incorporate those updates.

See <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/cpujan2014-1972949.html#AppendixJAVA&gt; for the list of security vulnerabilities fixed by the Oracle CPU January 2014.

Note: WAS itself is not vulnerable to all the advisories. However, Rational Insight is vulnerable to the following two advisories:

CVE ID: CVE-2014-0416

**Description:**javax.security.auth.Subject is serializable but does not validate deserialized data properly. Malicious code could exploit this to construct an invalid Subject instance with content that differs from the advertised properties. In addition, if a server deserializes serialized data from untrusted sources, an attacker could insert an invalid instance of Subject class into a server Java process.

**CVSS Base Score:**5
**CVSS Temporal Score:**See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/90349&gt; for the current score
*CVSS Environmental Score:**Undefined
