Remediation/Fixes
Contact IBM Service at 1-800-IBM-SERV to arrange an upgrade to the latest microcode level followed by the installation of vtd_exec.213, vtd_exec.214, vtd_exec.215, and vtd_exec.235 as needed. Minimum microcode levels are shown below:
|
Release | Fix |
| R3.3 | Upgrade to 8.33.0.45 or later + vtd_exec.213 + vtd_exec.214 + vtd_exec.215 + vtd_exec.235 |
| R3.0, R3.1, or R3.2 | Upgrade to 8.32.2.1 or later + vtd_exec.213 + vtd_exec.214 + vtd_exec.215 + vtd_exec.235 |
| R2.1 | Upgrade to 8.21.0.178 or later + vtd_exec.213 + vtd_exec.214 + vtd_exec.215 + vtd_exec.235 |
| Older Releases | Upgrade to 8.21.0.178 or later + vtd_exec.213 + vtd_exec.214 + vtd_exec.215 + vtd_exec.235 |
Please note that vtd_exec packages carry their own internal version numbers. For the vulnerabilities reported in this Security Bulletin, the minimum required vtd_exec versions are as follows:
| Package | Version |
| vtd_exec.213 | 1.08 |
| vtd_exec.214 | 1.08 |
| vtd_exec.215 | 1.08 |
| vtd_exec.235 | 1.08 |
Workarounds and Mitigations
Although IBM recommends that you upgrade to the fixes identified above, you can mitigate, but not eliminate the risk of these vulnerabilities by restricting physical and network access to the TS7700 to authorized users and IBM Service Personnel only.
