Fix List for Db2 Version 11.5 for Linux, UNIX and Windows

To remediate the vulnerability:

For TBSM Data server:

1. Download the latest DB2 JDBC Driver (v11.5.x) from DB2 Special Builds and extract the db2jcc4.jar file.
Alternatively, if DB2 v11.5.9 or higher is already installed and the special build from the Fix List has been applied, the file can be found under db2's install directory by navigating to the install directory and searching for db2jcc4.jar file.

2. Stop the TBSM servers.

3. Replace the old db2jcc4.jar with the new db2jcc4.jar under following directories:
<TBSM Install Directory>/XMLtoolkit/tools/crviewer/lib/

<TBSM Install Directory>/XMLtoolkit/tools/ExportDatabaseTool/drivers/

<TBSM Install Directory>/XMLtoolkit/jars/

Note: File under <TBSM Install Directory>/XMLtoolkit/tools/crviewer/lib/ may be listed as db2jcc.jar. If that is the case, replace the db2jcc.jar file with the downloaded db2jcc4.jar file, then rename to db2jcc.jar.

4. Start the TBSM servers.

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
