Security Bulletin


Summary

SSL cipher suites using non-Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithms with key sizes of less than 1024 are vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. Previous versions of the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server left these cipher suites enabled.

Vulnerability Details

CVE ID: CVE-2015-4000

Description: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT cipher suite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session key as well as modify the contents of the traffic.

This vulnerability is commonly referred to as "Logjam".

IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns is not affected by this vulnerability.

Remediation/Fixes

For all affected versions of IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.0.x, upgrade to IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.0.1.9 or later.

For all affected versions of IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.1.x, upgrade to IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.1.1.6 or later.

Workarounds and Mitigations

If Oracle or IBM Java 7 or 8 is used on the server, edit the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property in <Java Home>/lib/security/java.security.

Example:

jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, DH, DHE
