Affected Products and Versions
| Affected Product(s) | Version(s) |
|---|---|
| ITNM | From 4.2.0 to 4.2.18(Fix Pack 18) |
Remediation/Fixes
Upgrade to ITNM 4.2 Fix Pack 19 (4.2.0.19) with the below specified Java version(8.0.8.20).
To update the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), complete the following steps.
1. Locate the appropriate IBM JRE for your operating system on the IBM Fix Central website.
AIX: IBM Java 8.0.8.20 for AIX
Linux: IBMJava 8.0.8.20 for 64-bit Linux
zLinux: IBM Java 8.0.8.20 for Linux for z/OS
2. Download version 8.0.8.20 in archive, not binary, format and install it as per following steps.
3. Back up the directory $NCHOME/precision/jre.
4. Stop all running processes of the Network Manager Core Components and Apache Storm by using the itnm_stop command.
5. Delete the contents of the $NCHOME/precision/jre/bin and $NCHOME/precision/jre/lib directory.
6. Copy the contents of the bin and lib directories from the JRE that you installed in step 2 to $NCHOME/precision/jre/bin and $NCHOME/precision/jre/lib, respectively.
7. Restart the Network Manager Core Components and Apache Storm by using the itnm_start command. To upgrade or rollback the Network Manager Core Components, restore the backup that you made in step 3. Perform the upgrade or rollback, then perform steps 4 to 7 again.2

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
