CVEID: CVE-2016-2183
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the DES/3DES cipher, used as a part of the SSL/TLS protocol. By capturing large amounts of encrypted traffic between the SSL/TLS server and the client, a remote attacker able to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability to recover the plaintext data and obtain sensitive information. This vulnerability is known as the SWEET32 Birthday attack.

Workarounds and Mitigations
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g scadmin
1. Download java-sdk-7.0.10.1 from Fix Central
2. Stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
/<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI
3. cd <UI_HOME>
4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig
5. untar ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.1-linux-x86_64.tgz into <UI_HOME> folder (this will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-70 folder in <UI_HOME>)
6. start UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
