SUMMARY:
OpenSSL vulnerabilities were disclosed on January 28, 2016 by the OpenSSL
Project. OpenSSL is used by AIX. AIX has addressed the applicable CVEs.
===============================================================================
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVEID: CVE-2015-3197
DESCRIPTION: A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been
disabled on the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2
ciphers have been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not
disabled via SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
CVSS Base Score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/110235 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2015-4000
DESCRIPTION: A previously published vulnerability in the TLS protocol
allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade vulnerable TLS
connections using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange to 512-bit
export-grade cryptography. This vulnerability is known as 'Logjam'.
AIX OpenSSL had the Logjam mitigation for TLS clients by rejecting
handshakes with DH parameters shorter than 768 bits. This limit has
now been increased to 1024 bits.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See
https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS:
AIX 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2
VIOS 2.2.x
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:
key_fileset = osrcaix
Fileset Lower Level Upper Level KEY
--------------------------------------------------
openssl.base 0.9.8.401 0.9.8.2506 key_w_fs
openssl.base 1.0.1.500 1.0.1.515 key_w_fs
openssl.base 12.9.8.1100 12.9.8.2506 key_w_fs
Note: to find out whether the affected filesets are installed
on your systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide.
Example: lslpp -L | grep -i openssl.base
REMEDIATION:
A. FIXES
Fixes are available.
The fixes can be downloaded via ftp or http from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix17.tar
http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix17.tar
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/openssl_fix17.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
Technology Levels.
Note that the tar file contains Interim fixes that are based on
OpenSSL version, and AIX OpenSSL fixes are cumulative.

To extract the fixes from the tar file:
tar xvf openssl_fix17.tar
cd openssl_fix17
Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

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
security-alert@austin.ibm.com and describe the discrepancy.

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.
WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:
None.
