Security Bulletin Summary TLS 1.2 allows the use of 3DES, which has some known weaknesses, among other supported ciphers. Db2 does not forbid the use of 3DES when configured to use TLS 1.2 protocol. Although Db2 does not choose the cipher out of all available ciphers, the weaker ciphers should be explicitly forbidden for use. Customers who provide SSL_CIPHERSPECS with both 3DES and non-3DES ciphers specified are vulnerable. This update will never use the 3DES cipher even if specified in the SSL_CIPHERSPECS list. Vulnerability Details CVEID: CVE-2019-4102 DESCRIPTION: IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes DB2 Connect Server) uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. CVSS Base Score: 5.9 CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/158092 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) Affected Products and Versions All fix pack levels of IBM Db2 V9.7, V10.1, V10.5, and V11.1 editions on all platforms are affected. Remediation/Fixes The recommended solution is to apply the appropriate fix for this vulnerability. FIX: The fix for Db2 V11.1 is in V11.1.4.5, available for download from Fix Central. Customers running any vulnerable fixpack level of an affected Program, V9.7, V10.1, and V10.5, can download the special build containing the interim fix for this issue from Fix Central. These special builds are available based on the most recent fixpack level for each impacted release: DB2 V9.7 FP11, V10.1 FP6, and V10.5 FP10. They can be applied to any affected fixpack level of the appropriate release to remediate this vulnerability. Images published before July 24, 2019 have an issue with db2iupdt. Customers that have downloaded a special build before July 24, 2019 should delete the image and re-download with the updated links below.
