IMPORTANT NOTICE

Potential cross-site scripting vulnerabiltity via macros in event page template files

Some IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager page macros might be vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks when their values are not properly encoded. Contact IBM Support for the list of macros that might be subjected to this issue. To remediate this, add the macros provided by IBM Support to the list of comma-separated tokens in the runtime custom property SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens. Add these macro so that their values are HTML-escaped in the template files. For example, if the list of macros provided is:

• @EXAMPLE_MACRO1@
• @EXAMPLE_MACRO2@
• @EXAMPLE_MACRO3@

the value of the runtime custom property SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens with the above macros added can be:

@REQ_ADDR@,@DETAIL@,@EXCEPTION_STACK@,@EXCEPTION_MSG@,@RESPONSE@,@TARGET@,@DETAIL@,@SAMLSTATUS@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO1@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO2@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO3@

NOTE: Other macros that are prone to cross site scripting vulnerability can also be added to SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens. The value of this runtime custom property will be revised periodically and update as needed. For more information regarding the runtime custom property, access http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZSXU_6.2.0/com.ibm.tivoli.fim.doc_6.2/installconfig/reference/CustomPropsSPS.html.

Possible security exposure with IBM WebSphere Application Server with WS-Security enabled applications using LTPA tokens (CVE-2011-1377)

The security that the IBM WebSphere Application Server provides might be weaker than expected when using web services security (WS-Security). A user might randomly gain elevated privileges on the provider system. WS-Security might assign the identity of a previously processed LTPA token to a new inbound LTPA token after authentication. This impacts applications using either JAX-WS and JAX-RPC.

Versions affected:

• IBM WebSphere Application Server, all platforms, Versions 8.0 through 8.0.0.2, 7.0 through 7.0.0.21, and 6.1 through 6.1.0.41, 6.0.2 through 6.0.2.43.
• IBM WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack for Web Services Versions 6.1.0.9 through 6.1.0.39.

Fix pack structure

Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway consists of the following components that can be installed separately:

• Administration console
• Management service and runtime component
• Internet information services (IIS) Web plug-in
• Apache/IBM HTTP Server Web plug-in
• IBM Support Assistant plugin

This fix pack applies only to the administration console and management service and runtime components (first two components listed above). These two components must be at the same level. Therefore, if you install a fix pack for either the administration console component or the management service and runtime component, you must install the corresponding fix pack for the other of these two components. If the administration console and management service and runtime components are not at the same fix pack level, they are not guaranteed to interoperate with each other as designed.

APARs and defects fixed

Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIMBG-FP0013

The following problems are corrected by this fix pack. For more information about the APARs listed here, refer to the Federated Identity Manager Business Gateway support site.

APAR IV43162

SYMPTOM: Wrong X509SKI value in digital signature.

APAR IV42940

SYMPTOM: Trace message starting with "Please ask development to consider making this class Immutable: " and ending with an exception stack trace is confusing customers who are checking the trace logs.

APAR IV40190

SYMPTOM: Unable to configure SAML Identity Provider to only sign the AuthResponse and not sign the Assertion when HTTP POST binding is used.

APAR IV09367

SYMPTOM: IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is incorrectly processing SAML aliases with certain directory servers.

APAR IV19689

SYMPTOM: The SAML 1.1 STS Token Module fails to populate the STSUU's Principal correctly when the inbound SAML Assertion contains an AuthenticationStatement with a type attribute that is set to something other than "saml:AuthenticationStatement".

APAR IV38244

SYMPTOM: The FBTSML227E error message is displayed incorrectly.

APAR IV23069

SYMPTOM: When no Format attribute for the NameIDPolicy element is found in the SAML 2.0 AuthnRequest message, the Identity Provider will treat the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Identity Provider should instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner, which is what it does when the Format for the NameIdPolicy element in AuthnRequest message is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified".

APAR IV36844

SYMPTOM: When the Format attribute for the NameID element in the SAML 2.0 Assertion is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified", the Service Provider will treat the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Service Provider should instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner.

APAR IV38308

SYMPTOM: The STSUUSER principal does not match the incoming subject name id of the assertion.

APAR IV38365

SYMPTOM: Corrupted URLs in the feds.xml and sps.xml when a non-sps URL is provided for Single Sign-On Service, Single Logout Service, Soap Endpoint, Artifact Resolution Service, Assertion Consumer Service or Name ID Management Service URLs in the SAML 2.0 IP/SP Federation properties page via Management Console. Fix for this defect will include validation of the above URLs. The URL provided will be checked to ensure that it is a properly formatted URL and that it is a sps URL. If not, the same error message "The value entered for X contains an improperly formatted URL" will be shown when saving federation properties.

APAR IV38366

SYMPTOM: Blank page is shown when the session cannot be found.

APAR IV38326

SYMPTOM: Single logout fails when two Service Providers are authenticated using the same session index and both Service Provider federations are on the same IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager domain.

APAR IV38368

SYMPTOM: A HTML page with SOAPException message, instead of a SOAP Fault, is returned as a response to a request security token SOAP request, with invalid issuer or appliesto, sent to SAML 1.1 artifact service endpoint.

APAR IV38369

SYMPTOM: The FBTSPS061E An unexpected error has occurred with a protocol module error is displayed when a federated SSO request is received at the service provider and WebSeal is used as the point of contact.

APAR IV38370

SYMPTOM: Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL failover cookies do not work when Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is configured to generate IV credential tokens without using PDAcld.

APAR IV38376

SYMPTOM: Certain point of contacts that use external authentication interface do not recognize the identity of the user that is set by IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager in the response HTTP header (typically, "am-fim-eai-user-id"), since these point of contacts are not aware that IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager URL encodes this identity. IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager should not URL encodes this identity.

APAR IV38377

SYMPTOM: The base64 encoded token generated by IVCred STS module is split into multiple lines. Some customers require that the token not to be split into multiple lines.

APAR IV38378

SYMPTOM: No error message is reported when importing SAML 2.0 Identity Provider or Service Provider whose metadata contains Organization element with no OrganizationURL element.

APAR IV38385

SYMPTOM: Requests to IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager WSTrust 1.3 endpoint URL using the ?WSDL parameter to get the WSDL document results in subsequent SOAP services to fail.

APAR IV38387

SYMPTOM: The string "???????? Web ??????!" is returned when accessing the URL http://hostname:9080/Info/InfoService using web browser. This problem may happen when the language of the browser is different from the language of the operating system of the server.

APAR IV38388

SYMPTOM: Security update for IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Runtime.

APAR IV38389

SYMPTOM: The STS obtains the base security token for execution from either the base element on the RequestSecurityToken message or from the WS-Security tokens included on the soap headers. Tivoli Federated Identity Manager will take the first WS-Security token found on the soap header. After this modification the SAML STS modules will look for the appropriate token type included on the WS-Security headers when the change is enabled.

APAR IV38391

SYMPTOM: IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager doesn't provide 2048 bit option as key size when generating certificate request or self-signed certificate through console.

APAR IV38359

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Single Sign On protocol service (SPS) SAML 2.0 protocol implementation allows a customer to use the 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified' name identifier for single sign on. By default IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager will treat a 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified' name identifier as 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent' name identifier unless the default name identifier is set to another type like emailAddress. The Single Logout operation incorrectly queries the alias service if unspecified name identifier is used and the default name identifier is set to email.

APAR IV38364

SYMPTOM:
1. When defining a text field in GUIXML, and setting its default value to a string containing a quotation mark, Tivoli Federated Identity Manager throws an exception when loading the GUIXML page saying that the XML is invalid.
2. In an STS module which has an 'init' page widget which has a multi-valued TextField, only the first value of the multiple values is displayed when viewing the module instance properties.

APAR IV10801

SYMPTOM: Improve SAML Signature Conformance

APAR IV23431

SYMPTOM: Improve SAML signature conformance

APAR IV23445

SYMPTOM: Improve signature conformance

APAR OA39921

SYMPTOM: NullPointerException is thrown when sending SAML 2.0 messages (e.g., Logout Request) with invalid IssueInstant attribute.

APAR IV24381

SYMPTOM: Improve XML Signature Conformance

APAR IV26034

SYMPTOM: The RelayState query string parameter provided to the IP-initiated SSO initial URL is used to populate the RelayState macro in the authentication response when the target query string parameter is empty or not provided. It should be ignored.

APAR IV26826

SYMPTOM: Update deployment descriptor for the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console servlets.

APAR IV26823

SYMPTOM: Update log traces in FSSO and STS.

Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIMBG-FP0009

APAR IV01293

SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when adding a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider as a partner. This problem happens when the metadata of the Identity Provider contains SAML attributes.

APAR IV01314

SYMPTOM: LTPA Token Module is not calculating the expiration date correctly. When a token is renewed, the expiration date is added to the userdata structure expiration array. The new expiration date is the last item added to the array. The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager was incorrectly taking the first item on the array.

APAR IV01819

SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when configuring LDAP alias service using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if at least one LDAP server exists in the system.

APAR IV01295

SYMPTOM: THE WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER POC CREATE WAS SECURITY CONTEXT WITH INSUFFICIENT UNIQUE ID.

APAR IV01254

SYMPTOM: In some SAML error circumstances, the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager would return a NullPointerException when attempting to display an error page or return a SAML error to an artifact retrieval request.

APAR IV01822

SYMPTOM: The value of the attribute "IsDefault" of all assertion consumer services of the SAML 2.0 Service Provider partner is changed to "true" after clicking the button "OK" or "Apply" in the Partner Properties page in the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Console.

APAR IV01319

SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 STS Module fails to validate the subject confirmation method correctly when the assertion is received as part of the SAML 2.0 Single Sign On operation. The specification requires that an assertion that is generated as part of a Single Sign On flow should at least include one of the subject confirmation methods of value urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:cm:bearer.

APAR IV01315

SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 SPS Module is setting the Destination attribute on LogoutReponse message when the request is received through SOAP binding at the Identity Provider and there is more than one service provider session that was authenticated based on the Identity Provider session. The Destination field might have the url for the incorrect partner that is not the one that send the LogoutRequest.

APAR IV01318

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager LTPA STS module support code is not thread safe. The code uses an static instance of a JDK class that is not thread safe causing undetermined results while verifying or generating the ltpa token signature on environments with high volume of transaction.

APAR IV03231

SYMPTOM: KERBEROS STS MODULE TO ENFORCE TOKEN ONE TIME USE.

APAR IV03050

SYMPTOM: Security update for the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console.

APAR IV01824

SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when adding and modifying LDAP host using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if the parameter "hostPort" is not 389, or the parameter "minConnections" is not 2, or the parameter "maxConnections" is not 10.

APAR IZ03616

SYMPTOM: The SAML specification allows for the Identity Provider not to include an issuer value on the SAMLResponse as long as the assertion includes the value. The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager SAML module was expecting for the issuer on the SAML Response to always be included. Such expectation was causing a Null Pointer Exception when the values was not included.

APAR IZ72928

SYMPTOM: Opening a Tivoli Federated Identity Manager page or portlet from the WebSphere Application Server ISC causes a JNDI exception of the type NameNotFoundException to be logged in the WAS server log.

APAR IZ91976

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager generates a NullPointerException when the SAMLResponse received from the Identity Provider does not include a Issuer value though the Issuer value is included in the assertion.

APAR IZ92245

SYMPTOM: Duplicate STS chain mappings are created when adding a SAML 2.0 Service Provider as a partner. This problem happens if the metadata of the Service Provider contains at least three distinct assertion consumer services with at least three distinct URLs.

APAR IZ94653

SYMPTOM: Ability for IVCRED STS Module to return error (default) or map to special user account for unauthenticated user token.

APAR IV01175

SYMPTOM: The SAML 2.0 SPS module during a Single Logout operation on Service Provider side is invoking the alias service regardless if email name id format was used to single sign on the user. While the Single Logout Operation is successful, an error is included on the logs though the alias operation is not required.

APAR IZ96477

SYMPTOM: Mapping from single logout URL to protocol is deleted from the configuration file after clicking the button "OK" or "Apply" in the Federation Properties page in TFIM Console. This problem happens if the single logout bindings that are enabled are only HTTP-Redirect and SOAP. The missing mapping causes single logout operation to fail.

APAR IV01201

SYMPTOM: CommandException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if the parameter "exportPrivateKey" is specified with no value or with value "true".

APAR IV01202

SYMPTOM: ChainableRuntimeException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Console. This problem happens if the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is deployed in certain WebSphere Application Server versions (e.g., WebSphere Application Server 7 Fix Pack 11).
