Note that CVE-2020-4590 and CVE-2020-4421 do not affect GNM as normally installed.

Per the original bulletins for CVE-2020-5258, CVE-2020-4590, and CVE-2020-4421, all three vulnerabilities can be resolved by upgrading WebSphere Liberty Profile.
- For basic GNM (the regular version used by most customers) versions 6 and 7, upgrade to WebSphere Liberty Profile version 21.0.0.10 or later, available at IBM Fix Central.
- For GNM version 6 Enterprise Name Search (a separate installation which does not apply to most customers), update using the files and instructions in GNM 6 interim fix 11, available at IBM Fix Central.
