Remediation/Fixes

IBM recommends updating the Flex System Manager (FSM) and all affected Common Agent Services (CAS) endpoints using the instructions referenced in the table below.

Warning: If agents older than version 6.3.5 are not updated before the FSM iFix is installed you will permanently loose contact with that endpoint.

IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify areas that enable the SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions. The most immediate mitigation action that can be taken is disabling SSLv3. You should verify disabling SSLv3 does not cause any compatibility issues.

Workarounds and Mitigations

None.
