IMPORTANT NOTICE

Denial of Service Security Exposure with Java JRE/JDK hanging when converting 2.2250738585072012e-308 number (CVE-2010-4476)

This Security Alert addresses a serious security issue CVE-2010-4476 (Java Runtime Environment hangs when converting "2.2250738585072012e-308" to a binary floating-point number). This vulnerability may cause the Java Runtime Environment to go into a hang, infinite loop, and/or crash resulting in a denial of service exposure. This same hang may occur if the number is written without scientific notation (324 decimal places). In addition to the Application Server being exposed to this attack, any Java program using the Double.parseDouble method is also at risk of this exposure including any customer written application or 3rd party written application.

The following products contain affected versions of the Java Runtime Environment:

• IBM WebSphere Application Server Versions 7.0 through 7.0.0.13 for Distributed, i5/OS and z/OS operating systems.
• IBM WebSphere Application Server Versions 6.1 through 6.1.0.35 for Distributed, i5/OS and z/OS operating systems.
• IBM WebSphere Application Server Versions 6.0 through 6.0.2.43 for Distributed, i5/OS and z/OS operating systems.

The same iFix applies to the IBM WebSphere Application Server Standalone, Network Deployment and Embedded (eWAS) versions. It also applies to the eWAS version that is included with IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager. For more information regarding the vulnerability and the iFix access http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21462019

Use the IBM WebSphere Update Installer (WUI) to apply the fix. If the WUI has not been previously installed, the WUI can be downloaded from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24020448. For detailed instructions on how to install the IBM WebSphere Update Installer, see here.

Fix packs superseded by this fix pack

6.2.1-TIV-TFIM-FP0001

Fix pack structure

Federated Identity Manager consists of the following components that can be installed separately:

• Administration console
• Management service and runtime component
• Web services security management (WSSM)
• WS-provisioning runtime
• Internet information services (IIS) Web plug-in
• Apache/IBM HTTP Server Web plug-in
• IBM Support Assistant plugin

This fix pack applies only to the administration console, management service and runtime component, and Web services security management (first three components listed above). These three components must be at the same level. For example, if you install a fix pack for the management service and runtime component, you must install the corresponding fix packs for the administration console and WSSM components. If all three components are not at the same fix pack level, they are not guaranteed to interoperate with each other as designed.

APAR IV10793
SYMPTOM: Improve SAML Signature Conformance

APAR IV09511
SYMPTOM: IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager SAML 2.0 SSO plugin will generate an "invalid_message_timestamp" error when it receives an AuthnRequest message with a IssueInstant where the second fractions are higher than 999. The following is an example of a timestamp that generates the issue: "2011-07-01T13:30:50.830773Z".

APAR IV09216

SYMPTOM: Enabling and disabling RelayState URL encoding and decoding in SAML 2.0 unsolicited authentication response.

APAR IV07933

SYMPTOM: RelayState in the authentication request sent by the SAML 2.0 Service Provider into the Identity Provider is not available as query string parameter in the redirect URL to the custom login page.

APAR IV07716

SYMPTOM: Security update for TFIM Runtime.

APAR IV06369

SYMPTOM: Configuration information related to keystore is removed from kessjks.xml when SAML 1.1 or SAML 2.0 partner is added through CLI, no metadata file is specified in the response file or metadata file specified does not contain signing and encryption key, and keystore password provided is wrong.

APAR IV07706

SYMPTOM: The STSUniversalUser java class does not preserve attributes with empty values.

APAR IV01254

SYMPTOM: In cases where a SAML validation error occurs and there is no message detail, the error page handler throws a NullPointerException.

APAR IZ96105

SYMPTOM: The TFIM SPS fails to return the appropriate page template when a HTTP GET request does not specify the content encoding. Most browsers do not send the Content-Type: header with the charset value defined for GET requests.

APAR IZ94653

SYMPTOM: Ability for IVCRED STS Module to return error (default) or map to special user account for unauthenticated user token.

APAR IZ98683

SYMPTOM: ADD ADDITONAL TRACES FOR FBTSPS061E ERROR.

APAR IZ98685

SYMPTOM: When no Format attribute for the NameIDPolicy element is found in the SAML 2.0 AuthnRequest message, the Identity Provider will treat the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Identity Provider should instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner, which is what it does when the Format for the NameIdPolicy element in AuthnRequest message is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified".

APAR IZ92518

SYMPTOM: Error message FBT0ID0029E is returned by the OpenID Provider when the Relying Party sends an authentication request with Return To URL that matches the Realm URL. This problem happens when the Return To URL has path, and the Realm URL has no path.

APAR IZ92853

SYMPTOM: The Audit Event Handler of an Audit Client Profile cannot be changed into CARSAuditClientEventHandler using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console. This causes the CARSAuditClientEventHandler setting to be not displayed in the Event Handler Setting tab in the Audit Client Profile Properties page. This also causes the Audit Client Profile Properties page to be reloaded when clicking the OK button in that page, but without saving the Audit Client Profile.

APAR IZ97199

SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens when the parameter "exportPrivateKey" is not specified, or is specified with value "false". CommandException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens when the parameter "exportPrivateKey" is specified with no value, or is speficied with value "true". ClassCastException is thrown when importing a keystore using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens when the parameter "trustedKeystore" is not specified, or is specified with value "false".

APAR IZ97766

SYMPTOM: ChainableRuntimeException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console. This problem happens if the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is deployed in certain WebSphere Application Server versions (e.g., WebSphere Application Server 7 Fix Pack 11).

APAR IV00810

SYMPTOM: String "???????? Web ??????!" is returned when accessing the URL http://hostname:9080/Info/InfoService using web browser. This problem might happen when the language of the browser is different from the language of the operating system where IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Runtime is installed.

APAR IV01646

SYMPTOM: Error message FBTCON366E is displayed when importing JavaScript mapping rule using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console. This problem happens when the mapping rule contains statements that throw exception.

APAR IV03152

SYMPTOM: Security update for IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Runtime.

APAR IV07710

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager LTPA STS module support code is not thread safe. The code uses an static instance of a JDK class that is not thread safe causing undetermined results while verifying or generating the ltpa token signature on environments with high volume of transaction.

APAR IV07696

SYMPTOM: KERBEROS STS MODULE TO ENFORCE TOKEN ONE TIME USE.

APAR IV07684

SYMPTOM: The CBEXMLAuditEvent audit profile event handler is not setting the sequence number and global instance id on the audit records.

APAR IV07712

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager generates a NullPointerException when the SAMLResponse received from the Identity Provider does not include a Issuer value though the Issuer value is included in the assertion.

APAR IV07708

SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 SPS Module is setting the Destination attribute on LogoutReponse message when the request is received through SOAP binding at the Identity Provider and there is more than one service provider session that was authenticated based on the Identity Provider session. The Destination field might have the url for the incorrect partner that is not the one that send the LogoutRequest.

APAR IV07694

SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 STS Module fails to validate the subject confirmation method correctly when the assertion is received as part of the SAML 2.0 Single Sign On operation. The specification requires that an assertion that is generated as part of a Single Sign On flow should at least include one of the subject confirmation methods of value urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:cm:bearer.

APAR IV07713

SYMPTOM: The SAML 2.0 SPS module, during a Single Logout operation on Service Provider side, invokes the alias service even if the email name id format was used to single sign on the user. While the Single Logout Operation is successful, an error is included on the logs though the alias operation is not required.

APAR IV07704

SYMPTOM: In the 'Configure Key Service' -> 'Hardware Cryptographic Device' panel in the TFIM Management Console, the checkbox for 'Use hardware cryptographic device' does not remain selected 2-3 seconds after it is selected.

APAR IV07689

SYMPTOM: LDAP ALIASES NOT DELETED FOR SAML 20 DEFEDERATE OPERATION

APAR IZ95850

SYMPTOM: TFIM Management Service and Runtime fail to start on WAS 6.0.2. The following is observed in the logs: javax.management.MBeanException: null nested exception is javax.management.ServiceNotFoundException: Cannot find ModelMBeanOperationInfo for operation getInternalClassAccessMode

APAR IV07705

SYMPTOM: The STSMapDefault module in the sts.modules package allows the following global variables to be available to Javascript mapping rules: - stsuu (The STSUniversalUser), - stsrequest (the entire STSRequest object), and - stsresponse (the entire STSResponse object). The validation of the javascript fails if the javascript mapping rule references stsrequest and/or stsresponse.

APAR IV07701

SYMPTOM: When the Format attribute for the NameID element in the SAML 2.0 Assertion is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified", the Service Provider treats the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Service Provider must instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner.

APAR IV03083

SYMPTOM: Provider ID and assertion consumer service URL of an existing partner of a SAML2 federation are not updated after changing the partner using a response file through the command modifyItfimPartner with the operation 'modify'.

APAR IV00695

SYMPTOM: When TFIM is deployed on eWAS, and USC (User Self Care) is configured, USC operations enrollment, forgotten ID and forgotten password fail with the exception that an object cache instance (e.g. itfim/distributedmaps/usc_accountcreate) cannot be fetched.

APAR IV07690

SYMPTOM: WS-Federation 1.1 Passive profile SignOut operation fails when Identity Provider is using WebSEAL as POC.

APAR IV07681

SYMPTOM: When adding a SAML2.0 Identity Provider federation as a partner to a Service Provider federation through CLI, although signing key identifier is specified, a "FBTADM072E A key with alias 'null' was not found in the keystore ''" appears and prevents the user from adding the partner.

APAR IV06765

SYMPTOM: Property doIntrospection of STS chain mapping is set to false after updating the STS chain mapping by using the CLI.

APAR IV07683

SYMPTOM: The value of the attribute "IsDefault" of all assertion consumer services of the SAML 2.0 Service Provider partner is changed to "true" after clicking the OK or Apply button in the Partner Properties page in the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console.

SYMPTOM: Security update for the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console.

APAR IV03050

SYMPTOM: Security update for the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console.

APAR IV03038

SYMPTOM: Security update for the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Runtime.

APAR IV05549

SYMPTOM: An HTML page, instead of a SOAP Fault, is returned as a response when sending Request Security Token SOAP request to SAML 1.1 Artifact Service endpoint. This problem happens when the request has invalid "Issuer" or "AppliesTo".

APAR IV07725

SYMPTOM: Duplicate STS chain mappings are created when adding a SAML 2.0 Service Provider as a partner. This problem happens if the metadata of the Service Provider contains at least three distinct assertion consumer services with at least three distinct URLs.

APAR IV07714

SYMPTOM: Mapping from single logout URL to protocol is deleted from the configuration file after clicking the OK or Apply button in the Federation Properties page in Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console. This problem happens if the single logout bindings that are enabled are only HTTP-Redirect and SOAP. The missing mapping causes single logout operation to fail.

APAR IV07700

SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when adding or modifying LDAP host using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if the parameter "hostPort" is 389, or the parameter "minConnections" is 2, or the parameter "maxConnections" is 10, or the parameter "hostOrder" is -1.
