Security Target for the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Version 6.0 Fix Pack 1, Interim Fix 1

Security Target for the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Version 6.0 Fix Pack 1, Interim Fix 1

IBM Tivoli Directory Server version 6.0 (ITDS) is an implementation of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), which is compliant with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) LDAP Version 2 specifications, i.e. RFC 1777 and LDAP Version 3 specifications, i.e. RFC 2251-2256. The server is a software only product and can be installed and operated on variety of hardware/software platforms.

LDAP is essentially a specialized database where the update operation is less frequent and dedicated to the common goal within the enterprise on consolidating and unifying the management of identity. ITDS is built for identity management with role supports, fine-grained access control and entry ownership. It provides the foundation for improved security, rapid development and deployment of Web applications. Using the power of the IBM DB2 Universal Database as back end data store, ITDS provides high performance, reliability and stability in an enterprise or e-business. As the central repository for data within an enterprise, it is a powerful, secure and standards compliant enterprise directory for corporate intranets and the Internet.

Cisco Security Advisory: Voice Product Vulnerabilities on IBM Servers

Cisco Security Advisory: Voice Product Vulnerabilities on IBM Servers

The default installation of Cisco voice products on the IBM platform will install the Director Agent in an unsecure state, leaving the Director services vulnerable to remote administration control and/or Denial of Service attacks. The vulnerabilities can be mitigated by configuration changes and Cisco is providing a repair script that will close the vulnerable ports and put the Director agent in secure state without requiring an upgrade.

Cisco voice products running on IBM servers installed with the default configurations are affected if they leave TCP or UDP port 14247 open. To verify this vulnerability, the administrator may open a command window on the server and type netstat −a. If port 14247 is listed, the server is vulnerable to remote administrative control and Denial of Service attacks.

Affected Cisco voice products:
• Cisco CallManager
• Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR)
• Cisco IP Call Center Express (IPCC Express)
• Cisco Personal Assistant (PA)
• Cisco Emergency Responder (CER)
• Cisco Conference Connection (CCC)
• Cisco Internet Service Node (ISN) running on an IBM with an affected OS version.
