Remediation/Fixes
Portal Server (TEPS) - embedded WebSphere Application Server:
| Fix | VMRF | How to acquire fix |
| 6.X.X-TIV-ITM_EWAS_ALL-8.00.12.02 | 6.3.0.x | http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043277 Contains a patch for the embedded WebSphere Application Server (eWAS) 8.0 Fix Pack 12 plus Interim Fix Block 3 |
| Technote | 6.2.3.x | http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21633722 Contains information about installing the embedded WebSphere Application Server (eWAS) patches for IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.3. The link gives instructions to install eWAS 7.0 Fix Pack 41 (7.0.0.41) and Interim Fix block 3 (or later). |
Java (TEP) Remediation:
These vulnerabilities exist where the affected Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed on systems running the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Browser client or Java WebStart client. The affected JRE is installed on a system when logging into the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal using the Browser client or WebStart client and a JRE at the required level does not exist. The portal provides an option to download the provided JRE to the system.
This fix below provides updated JRE packages for the portal server which can be downloaded by new client systems. Once the fix has been installed on the portal server, instructions in the README can be used to download the updated JRE from the portal to the portal clients.
| Fix | VRMF | How to acquire fix |
| 6.X.X-TIV-ITM_JRE_TEP-20170126 | 6.2.3 FP1 through 6.3.0 FP7 | http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043276 |
Java (CANDLEHOME) Remediation:
The patch below should be installed which will update the shared Tivoli Enterprise-supplied JRE (jr component on UNIX/Linux) or Embedded JVM (JVM component on Windows).
| Fix | VMRF | Remediation/First Fix |
| 6.X.X-TIV-ITM_JRE_CANDLEHOME-20170126 | 6.2.3 through 6.3.0 FP7 | http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043275 |
