IBM Jazz Team Server applications are shipped with an IBM SDK for Java that is based on the Oracle JDK. Oracle has released January and April 2014 critical patch updates (CPU) which contain security vulnerability fixes. The IBM SDK for Java has been updated to incorporate these fixes.

IBM Jazz Team Server may be deployed on either IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) or Apache Tomcat. The remediation instructions are dependent on whether your deployment uses WAS or Tomcat.

IBM Jazz Team Server and the CLM applications (RRC, RTC, RQM, RDNG), RELM, Rhapsody DM, and RSA DM applications are affected by the following vulnerabilities disclosed in and corrected by the JRE January and April 2014 critical patch updates:

Remediation/Fixes

If your product is deployed on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and your deployment does not use an Eclipse based client nor the RM Browser plugin, then it is sufficient to continue using the existing version of the your Rational product, and only upgrade the JRE in the WAS server according to these instructions:
IBM Security Bulletin: Multiple vulnerabilities in current IBM SDK for Java for WebSphere Application Server April 2014 CPU.

Otherwise:
Upgrade your products to version 4.0.6 or 5.0, and then perform the following upgrades:

How to update the IBM SDK for Java of IBM Rational products based on version 4.0.6 and 5.0 of IBM's Jazz technology

OR:
Note: for any of the below remediations, if you are a WAS deployment, then WAS must also be upgraded, in addition to performing your product upgrades.

Workarounds and Mitigations

The version 5.0 Rational products contain the fixes for the January 2014 CPU vulnerabilities, but not the April 2014 CPU vulnerabilities.

To obtain the April 2014 CPU fixes in version 5.0, you must also upgrade the IBM SDK for Java as referenced above.

Important Note

IBM strongly suggests that all System z customers be subscribed to the System z Security Portal to receive the latest critical System z security and integrity service. If you are not subscribed, see the instructions on the System z Security web site. Security and integrity APARs and associated fixes will be posted to this portal. IBM suggests reviewing the CVSS scores and applying all security or integrity fixes as soon as possible to minimize any potential risk.
