Readme file for: IBM® FileNet® P8 Content Platform Engine
Update name: 5.2.0.3-P8CPE
Fix ID: 5.2.0.3-P8CPE-IF007
Publication date: 04 August 2015
Last modified date: 04 August 2015
This Interim Fix updates the private JRE used by the Legacy Component Manager. The Legacy Component Manager is the Component Manager that runs in Process Task Manager on the Workplace XT or Workplace server.
This Interim Fix resolves the Bar Mitzvah exploit, the Logjam exploit, and several issues that were addressed in the April 2015 Java Critcial Quarterly Patch Update.
This Interim Fix updates the private JRE used by the Legacy Component Manager to IBM version 1.6.0 SR16 FP5 for all platforms.
The updated JRE is a cumulative fix from the Java perspective. It includes all previously released JRE fixes (e.g., POODLE and FREAK).
This Interim Fix itself is not cumulative. That is, it does not include all the fixes in earlier interim fixes. But this interim fix can be installed on top of earlier interim fixes without conflicting with an earlier interim fix because this fix updates only the Legacy Component Manager's private JRE.
See the Interim Fix contents (APARs) section of this Readme for a list of fixes in this Interim Fix.
This Interim Fix has been qualified and tested when installed on top of a 5.2.0.3-P8CPE-IF006 configuration. Because it is only updating the JRE for the legacy Component Manager, it can likely be used with older fix packs of CPE 5.2.0, although that has not been explicitly tested.
The following new features are introduced in this Interim Fix:

You can uninstall this interim fix by stopping the legacy Component Manager (and any other java processes using that JRE) and renaming the javabackup folder as java.
