Affected Products and Versions

IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3
IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0
IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0

Remediation/Fixes

The solution is to apply the following IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool version fixes.

Upgrade the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool to the following fix levels or higher:

 ForIBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3

     IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.2.1.3 Build 23

 For IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0
     IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.1.0 Build 38

 ForIBM Image Construction and Composition Tool v2.3.2.0
