Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI may be impacted by the vulnerability Apache Log4j (CVE-2021-44228) through the use of Log4j-api. Also, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI uses IBM Jazz for Service Management and Websphere Application Server (WAS) component/product which are affected.
Refer to the security bulletin(s) listed in the Remediation/Fixes section
Affected Products | Versions |
---|---|
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI | 8.1 GA - 8.1.0.25 |
IBM Jazz for Service Manager | 1.1.3.0 - 1.1.3.13 |
Websphere Application Server (WAS) | 8.5 - 9.0 |
IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now.
Based upon current knowledge and analysis Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI does not use Apache log4j-core library which is vulnerable to CVE-2021-44228. It may still be impacted because log4j-api may be used in the application as this library is also part of same Apache Log4j package.
Please note in the steps below that $JazzSMHOME denotes the home directory where JazzSM is installed.
* If you are running Websphere Application Server 8.5.5.20 and IBM Jazz Service Manager 1.1.3.13, then you must also upgrade to Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus WebGUI 8.1.0.25.
1. Stop the JazzSM server, eg. $JazzSMHOME/profile/bin/stopServer.sh server1
2. Move log4j-api-2*.jar file in the deployed OMNIbusWebGUI.war directoy, to an archive directory outside of $JazzSMHOME
* For instance, $JazzSMHOME/profile/installedApps/installedApps/JazzSMNode01Cell/isc.ear/OMNIbusWebGUI.war/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-api-2*.jar
3. Start the JazzSM server, eg. $JazzSMHOME/profile/bin/startServer.sh server1
