Error description
Cumulative APAR for fixes to be included in MQ HP Nonstop fixpack 5.3.1.13
Local fix
Problem summary
APAR IT18767 - FixPack V5.3.1.12 introduced a regression which caused unthreaded LQMAs to terminate unexpectedly during startup. This has been fixed with this release. APAR IT18769 - Within a threaded environment the name resolution of a starting remote channel could cause delays. This has been changed as such that the name resolution is done in a more thread friendly manner. APAR IT18770 - In rare cases a racing condition during LQMA startup could cause a MQCONN request to fail with RC 2195. This was caused due the starting agent sending its registration request before the Execution Controller has finished the creation process. The request is then rejected since the Execution Controller does not accept requests by unknown agents. This has been fixed. APAR IT18593 - OSS environment variables which contain '_' were not usable in the Guardian environment. This has been changed as such that '_' can be substituted with '¬' in a PARAM and will be correctly interpreted. APAR IT18625 - SSL support has been changed to accommodate the changes done by the latest OpenSSL update. This offers an alternative way of SSL configurations on HP NonStop, based on the procedure used on IBM MQ for other platforms. This update deprecates cipherspecs TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256 and TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA since they are considered weak (see SSLUpdate.pdf). APAR IT18692 - OpenSSL library update to version 1.0.2j. Mitigation for: Fixed handling of OCSP Status Request extension (CVE-2016-6304), Prevention of possible out of bounds write (CVE-2016-2182), Refined limit checking preventing undefined behavior(CVE-2016-2177), Added missing length checks, preventing DoS risk (CVE-2016-6306), CRL sanity check (CVE-2016-7052).
