Remediation/Fixes

If your product is deployed on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and your deployment does not use an Eclipse based client nor the RM Browser plugin, then it is sufficient to continue using the existing version of the your Rational product, and only upgrade the JRE in the WAS server according to these instructions:
Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM® Java SDK affect WebSphere Application Server April 2016 CPU (CVE-2016-3426, CVE-2016-3427)

Otherwise:
Note: for any of the below remediations, if you are a WAS deployment, then WAS must also be upgraded, in addition to performing your product upgrades.
Upgrade your products to version 3.0.1.6 or 4.0.7 or 5.0.2 or 6.0.2, apply the latest ifix, and then perform the following upgrades. Request the April 2016 CPU update for the IBM® Java SDK:

How to update the IBM SDK for Java of IBM Rational products based on version 3.0.1.6 or later of IBM's Jazz technology

  • For the 3.x releases of Rational Software Architect Design Manager and Rhapsody Design Manager, if you cannot upgrade to 4.0.7 or 5.0 or 6.0, contact IBM Support for guidance.
  • For the 2.x releases, contact IBM Support for additional details on the fix.
