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) October 2013 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/cpuoct2013-1899837.html for the list of security vulnerabilities fixed by the Oracle CPU October 2013.

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

CVE ID: CVE-2013-5802
