Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in IBM Java 6 SDK for AIX

===============================================================================

SUMMARY:

There is a vulnerability in the AIX IBM Java 6 SDK installp and updatep
packages.

===============================================================================

VULNERABILITY DETAILS:

CVEID: CVE-2017-1541
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2017-1541
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2017-1541
DESCRIPTION: A flaw in the AIX JRE/SDK installp and updatep packages 
    prevented the java.security, java.policy and javaws.policy files 
    from being updated correctly.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See 
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/130809 
    for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)


AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS:

    AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2
    VIOS 2.2.x

    The following fileset levels (VRMF) are vulnerable, if the 
    respective Java version is installed:

| Java6.sdk: 6.0.0.215-6.0.0.645
| Java6_64.sdk: 6.0.0.215-6.0.0.645

    Note: To find out whether the affected Java filesets are installed 
    on your systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide.

    Example:  lslpp -L | grep -i java


REMEDIATION:

| Note: If running any level of Java6 from 6.0.0.215 to 6.0.0.645, then
read the following before proceeding:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1025683

    I.  Recommended remediation is to always install the most recent 
        Java package available for the respective Java version.  Current
        Java 6 package is Service Refresh 16 Fix Pack 50, VRMF 6.0.0.650.

        IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 6 Service Refresh 16 Fix 
        Pack 50 and subsequent releases:
    32-bit: https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~WebSphere&product=ibm/IBM+SDKs+for+Java+Technology/Java+Standard+Edition+%28Java+SE%29&release=6.0.0.0&platform=AIX+32-bit,+pSeries&function=all
    64-bit: https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~WebSphere&product=ibm/IBM+SDKs+for+Java+Technology/Java+Standard+Edition+%28Java+SE%29&release=6.0.0.0&platform=AIX+64-bit,+pSeries&function=all

| II. If upgrading to IBM Java 6 SDK SR16 FP50 or later is not
| possible, then interim fixes (iFixes) are available for Java 6
| fileset levels from 6.0.0.215 to 6.0.0.645.

INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL:

    For additional details regarding AIX Java interim fix installation 
    and removal, please read the following:
        http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1025683

    To preview an interim fix installation:

    emgr -e epkg_name -p         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                 # interim fix package being previewed.

    To install an interim fix package:

    emgr -e epkg_name -X         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                 # interim fix package being installed.

    The interim fix will need to be removed prior to upgrading Java
    levels.

    To remove an interim fix package:

    emgr -l                      # to list installed iFixes by label

    emgr -r -L <label>           # to remove an iFix by label, where label 
                                 # is the label listed by "emgr -l"


WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:

    None.
