Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting the * * software to prepare data for ArcSight SIEM. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The zSecure Audit ArcSight SIEM * * interface might generate CEF files that * * contain IPv6 address values for 'src' * * and 'dst' keys so that these values * * cannot be processed by the ArcSight * * receiver. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided. * **************************************************************** When IPv6 addresses are present in the SMF record, the zSecure Audit ArcSight SIEM interface writes such addresses to a CEF file using 'src'/'dst' keys, so that the corresponding CEF records cannot be processed by the ArcSight event receiver.
Problem conclusion
zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that the IPv6 addresses are written to a CEF file using c6a2 and c6a3 keys so that the ArcSight event receiver processes the corresponding CEF records correctly.
