CVE ID: CVE-2014-0963 (PI17025)

DESCRIPTION: IBM HTTP Server is affected by a problem with the handling of certain SSL messages. The TLS implementation can, under very specific conditions, cause CPU utilization to rapidly increase. The situation occurs only in a certain error case that causes a single thread to begin looping. If this happens multiple times, more threads will begin to loop and an increase in CPU utilization will be seen. This increase could ultimately result in CPU exhaustion and unresponsiveness of the IBM HTTP Server and other software running on the affected system.

This issue can affect the availability of the system, but does not impact system confidentiality or integrity. This vulnerability can be remotely exploited, authentication is not required and the exploit is moderately complex.

To determine if your systems are being affected by this issue, you can monitor the CPU utilization for IBM HTTP Server instances, or monitor the mod_mpmstats output written to the ErrorLog.

CVSS String: (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)

AFFECTED VERSIONS: The following IBM WebSphere Application Server Versions are affected:

Version 8.5

Version 8

REMEDIATION: No action is required unless all of these conditions are met:

SSL is enabled

IBM HTTP Server is Version 8 or later

SSLCipherSpec has enabled ECDHE_ECDSA* ciphers

Configured certificate uses an ECC key rather than RSA

Configured certificate was created by a tool other than ikeyman or gskcapicmd

Fix:
If all of the above conditions are met, then apply the appropriate Fix Pack, PTF, or Interim Fix containing APAR PI19700, as noted below. If the SSLFIPSEnable directive is specified, the vulnerability remains after applying the fix. As a remediation, disable SSLFIPSEnable, or change any of the above conditions.

For affected IBM HTTP Server:

For V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.2:

Apply Fix Pack 3 (8.5.5.3), or later.

-- Or --

Apply Interim Fix PI19700
