III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
To determine if your system is vulnerable, execute the following
command:
lslpp -L openssl.base
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
AIX Fileset Lower Level Upper Level
------------------------------------------
openssl.base 1.0.1.500 1.0.1.513
openssl.base 0.9.8.401 0.9.8.2504
openssl.base 12.9.8.1100 12.9.8.2504
Note, 0.9.8.401 and 12.9.8.1100 are the Lowest OpenSSL version
available in aix web download site. Even OpenSSL versions below
this are impacted
IV. SOLUTIONS
A. FIXES
Fix is available. The fix can be downloaded via ftp
from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix13.tar
The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
advisory, fix packages, and OpenSSL signatures for each package.
The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
releases.
Note that the tar file contains Interim fixes that are based on OpenSSL version
as given below -
Note: You must be on the 'prereq for installation' level before applying the interim fix.
This may require installing a new level(prereq version) first.
AIX Level Interim Fix (*.Z) Fileset Name(prereq for installation)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV71446m9a.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(1.0.1.513 version)
5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV71446m9b.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(0.9.8.2504 version)
5.3, 6.1, 7.1 IV71446m9c.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(12.9.8.2504 version)
VIOS Level Interim Fix (*.Z) Fileset Name(prereq for installation)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2.* IV71446m9a.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(1.0.1.513 version)
2.2.* IV71446m9b.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(0.9.8.2504 version)
2.2.* IV71446m9c.150410.epkg.Z openssl.base(12.9.8.2504 version)
To extract the fix from the tar file:
tar xvf openssl_fix13.tar
cd openssl_fix13
Verify you have retrieved the fix intact:
The checksums below were generated using the
"openssl dgst -sha256 file" command is the followng:
openssl dgst -sha256 filename
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8bd6837dbc983fc289f1db3e113aa875b204535ef1bbd998d84428b3cb33354b IV71446m9a.150410.epkg.Z
92868377fbb69ec1800fdbc6d58e6859f09b0fa630cfd011dabe53ba2615fdae IV71446m9b.150410.epkg.Z

These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
[email protected] and describe the discrepancy.

openssl dgst -sha1 -verify <pubkey_file> -signature <ifix_file>.sig <ifix_file>
B. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.
To preview a fix installation:
installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being previewed.
To install a fix package:
installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being installed.
Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.
Interim fix management documentation can be found at:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
To preview an interim fix installation:
emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.
To install an interim fix package:
emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.
