Affected Products and Versions

Affected Product(s) Version(s)
IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Virtual Environments Agent for Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machines 7.2.10

Remediation/Fixes

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by applying ITM SDK 630 FP7 SP19 patch on agent machine: 

Product Remediation Fix

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 19 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0019)

ITM SDK 630 FP7 SP19

Readme: IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 19 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0019) readme file 

Download and transfer the appropriate archive file to a temporary directory on the agent machine:

Platform Service Pack file name 

Linux

6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-LINUX-SP0019.tar.gz

Unix

6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-UNIX-SP0019.tar.gz

Install the patch by running the below commands:

For Linux installation:

        cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-LINUX-SP0019/
        ./spinst -h $AGENTCANDLEHOME

For Unix installation:

        cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-UNIX-SP0019
        ./spinst -h $AGENTCANDLEHOME

 If the patch installs successfully, the following message will be displayed:

       "Service pack install completed without errors." 

Additionally, post install processing script (sp-postinst) will run automatically.

After applying the patch, confirm that Java has been upgraded to version 1.8.0_421 by running the below command:

On Linux:

        cd <AGENTCANDLEHOME>/JRE/lx8266/bin
        ./java -version 

image-20250213153316-1

If the displayed Java version is "1.8.0_421" version, the patch was applied successfully, and the vulnerability is mitigated.

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.
