Remediation/Fixes
For IBM Cloud Orchestrator principal product version and supporting products, consult the security bulletins in the table below for vulnerability details and information about fixes. Apply fixes as appropriate depending on your environment.
For affected supporting products that are shipped with IBM Cloud Orchestrator Enterprise, consult the following security bulletins for vulnerability details and apply the fixes as appropriate depending on your environment.
Workarounds and Mitigations
For CVE-2015-7575:
Users of Java 7 and later can address the issue by updating the /jre/lib/security/java.security file as follows (both steps are required):
· Add MD5 to the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g. jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024, MD5
· Add MD5withRSA to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property - e.g. jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DH keySize < 768, MD5withRSA
Java 6 requires code changes in the JSSE component in addition to the java.security file modifications, so upgrading the JDK is the only solution.
