AIX Java Advisory : Multiple Vulnerabilities (Bar Mitzvah)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83135

Language:

Synopsis

The remote AIX host has a version of Java SDK installed that is affected by multiple TLS security downgrades.

Description

The version of Java SDK installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A man-in-the-middle information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a TLS security downgrade flaw. A man-in-the-middle attacker may be able to downgrade the SSL/TLS connection to use EXPORT_RSA cipher suites which can be factored in a short amount of time, allowing the attacker to intercept and decrypt the traffic.
(CVE-2015-0138)

- A flaw exists in the RC4 algorithm implementation due to improper combination of state data with key data during the initialization phase. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks.
(CVE-2015-2808)

Solution

Fixes are available by version and can be downloaded from the IBM AIX website.
