Remediation/Fixes

The solution is to install a fix that includes an updated Java™ Virtual Machine with fixes for the issues, and to apply fixes for WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

ClearQuest Eclipse client fixes

ClearQuest Server components
    1. Determine the WAS version used by your ClearQuest server. Navigate to the ClearQuest profile directory (either the profile you specified when installing ClearQuest, or <SDLC-home>/ClearQuest/cqweb/cqwebprofile), then execute the script: bin/versionInfo.sh (UNIX) or bin\versionInfo.bat (Windows). The output includes a section "IBM WebSphere Application Server". Make note of the version listed in this section.
    2. Review the following WAS security bulletin:
    Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Java SDK affect WebSphere Application Server July 2015 CPU

    and apply the fixes for the version of WAS used for ClearQuest Web.



    Affected Versions
    Applying the fix
    8.0.0.x
    8.0.1.x    		Apply the appropriate WebSphere Application Server fix directly to your CQ server host. No ClearQuest-specific steps are necessary.
    7.1.2.x (all fix packs)
    7.1.1.x (all fix packs)
    7.1.0.x (all fix packs)    		Customers on extended support contracts should contact customer support.
For 7.1.x, 7.0.x and earlier releases, IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version/release/platform of the product.
