Detailed Description of Fixes (in Defect ascending order) Fixes are marked as Engine, CM (Configuration Manager), and PS (Perimeter) =============================================================================== PSIRT12959, (Engine,CM,PS) - Update JRE 1.8 to SR5 FP27 (8.0.5.27) for PSIRT13809 security patches. Resolution: Update the JRE 1.8 to bring it up to the Oracle October 2018 level to satisfy the CVEs in PSIRT advisories 12959 and 13809. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10872758 for the Security Bulletin. ACTION - JRE 1.8 SR5 FP27 (8.0.5.27) introduced a change to disable SHA1 certificates via the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms parameter in the /jre/lib/security/java.security file. For more information, read the comments in the java.security file which relate to the added parm: jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms= * * *, SHA1 jdkCA & usage TLSServer, MFT-9906/IT28592 (Engine) - (HSM,CD) Intermittent timeout during SSL handshake When using an HSM device to store SSL private keys, the SSL handshake sometimes timed out because it took longer than 5 minutes to pull the key from the keystore. The PNode disconnected due to timeout. Symptom: CSP900E Logged Exception : java.net.SocketException: Underlying socket is not connected Resolution: Eliminated 2 redundant loads of the HSM keystore which were causing a delay. Also added some extra debug to help track the flow leading up to the handshake. MFT-9915/IT29131 (Engine) - Memory leak in logging area causes OutOfMemory A slow memory leak in the log4j2 logging subsystem led to an OutOfMemory (OOM) exception crash of the SSP engine after several weeks. Analysis of the heap dumps showed the following: The class "org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.AbstractManager" occupies 1,904,050,896 (89.23%) bytes. The memory is accumulated in one instance of "java.util.HashMap$Node[]". For each new session in which logging was enabled, the logging system was adding a new appender to write to the log file, even though in most cases, one already existed for that file. Resolution: Corrected the logic which decided whether a new logging appender was required so that duplicate entries would not longer accumulate and cause an OOM exception. MFT-9976/IT28591 (Engine) - (HSM,CD) Unable to open HSM keystore during SSL Handshake Customer running a Gemalto (Luna) HSM device was unable to open the device during an SSL handshake for a CD process. The HSM keystore passphrase supplied with the confgureHsmPassphrase.sh was not working. Symptom: CSP900E Logged Exception : java.io.IOException - Vendor defined error (0x80000067) Resolution: Now correctly provide the HSM passphrase to the Luna device at SSP initialization time so it can be initialized. Also added better stack traces to help show if the problem is in IBMPKCS11, JSSE, or HSM code. MFT-10020/IT27450 (CM) - Peer Address Pattern now allows starting or ending with * On the Netmap Inbound Node Definition screens for CD, FTP, HTTP, and SFTP, the ability to have peer address patterns which started or ended with *, ex: *.company.com or www.company.* was broken. Also known internally for SSP6000 branch as SSP-3562. SSP-3357 provided REST API support to match the GUI changes. Resolution: Corrected the parser which was keeping these patterns from working. MFT-10129/IT27075 (Engine) - (HTTP) Failures in HTTP adapters after upgrade to SSP 3.4.3.2 iFix 3 After Customer applied SSP3432 iFix 3, certain HTTP transactions were failing with: SSP175E Invalid HTTP Request method. Client possibly attempting SSL/TLS connection. SSP0231E Invalid data from client (Exception unmarshalling) - com.sterlingcommerce.csp.jetty.io.ValidationFailedException, null Resolution: Now wait till a full request line is received before calling validateMethod() MFT-10206/IT28929 (CM) - Problem with SSPcm certificate renewal process When using the CM GUI to update a keycert which is also used for connecting to SEAS, the copy of the certificate in the /conf/system/cmkeystore is not updated. If CM users are authenticated by SEAS, the connections to SEAS fail with an expired certificate. During connections to SEAS from the CM, the truststore and keystore entries needed for the connection were being copied from the configuration to the cmtruststore and cmkeystore, respectively to assist in the connection. But if an entry already existed, it was not updated. Resolution: Updated the CM code which connects to SEAS to build the the temporary keystore and truststore in memory rather than updating the files in /conf/system. MFT-10207/IT29589 (Engine) - (HTTP) Getting myFileGateway "Session expired" popup using passthrough authentication Since the Jetty upgrade in 3.4.3.2 iFix 2 Plus Build 263, Customers were getting several strange behaviors connecting to myFileGateway via HTTP doing passthrough. Customers who had the front end (inbound) connection secured and the back end (outbound) session non-secure were getting a "Session expired due to inactivity" popup immediately from myFileGateway. Other Customers found that even if both sides of the session were secured, when they logged off and back on, they got the "Session expired" message. Resolution: Corrected the code to send all cookies back and forth between the two sessions and to correctly send cookies based on the Security attribute. MFT-10218/IT28554 (Engine) - SSP sending FTP STOR command multiple times, leading to '451 - session in inconsistent state' A client attempted to send a large number of files during a single FTP session through SSP to a B2Bi backend. The first few transfers succeeded, but then SSP happened to send the STOR command to the server twice in a row causing the backend to respond with 451 Requested action aborted: session in inconsistent state. All subsequent uploads in the session then failed with the same error. Corrected this timing issue by always clearing the cached command queue before returning to the 'CommandHandler' state. MFT-10219/IT28683 (Engine) - (SFTP) All SFTP clients timing out connecting to back end SFTP adapters SFTP adapters were stalling when making connections to the backend SFTP server because a getLocalHost operation was hanging. Resolution: Updated the SFTP backend session setup logic to no longer do the getLocalHost operation to find the local NIC for the connection to the back end. This is already handled by the SSP local Perimeter Server code. Workaround: Supply the SFTP Adapter property sftp.listenAddress = nnn.nn.nnn.nn to supply the local NIC address. MFT-10241/IT28986 (CM) - SSPRestAPI fails with SNI handshake from client The Customer replaced their factory certificate with a self-signed keycert using a wildcard in the common name: CN=*.si.com. When submitting the sspRestAPI.sh script, the TLS ClientHello message included a server_name extension, which caused the connection to fail with /sspcmrest/sspcm/rest/session org.eclipse.jetty.http.BadMessageException: 400: Host does not match SNI The REST API client was not inserting HTTP header host name during connection to the SSP CM, and the Jetty on the CM server side was set to enforce SNI checking if the client indicated it. Resolution: Corrected the client side of the RESTAPI to allow the HTTP header host name to be set in the sspRestAPI.properties so that it matches the CN of Client's public key CN. Also changed the behavior of the CM to disable the SNI checking if the k=-Dssp.cm.jetty.sni.enable=false is set in the startCM.sh script. MFT-10250/IT29018 (Engine) - OutOfMemory during SFTP transfer after upgrade Customer applied SSP3432 iFix 4 Plus Build 291 and encountered OutOfMemory (OOM) crash when transferring files with SFTP. The build included a new Maverick toolkit which changed the way it managed buffers during transfers. The heap dump contained tens of thousands of com/maverick/ssh/Packet objects. Resolution: Updated the API calls to use the new CreatePacket method in the Maverick toolkit, which is the preferred method of managing the memory. MFT-10257/IT28968 (Engine, CM) - Sporadic loss of data during bulk transfer of multiple files via Filezilla FTP client Customer attempting to upload 500 files with Filezilla was getting many files missing and missing data in the files which were transferred. The utility was sending data before SSP had signalled it was ready to receive. Resolution: Now maintain a temporary buffer to hold the data sent from the FTP client before SSP is ready to receive it. See also SSP-3660. SSP-2968/No APAR (CM) - Allow HTTP response header overrides Resolution: Allow the user to be able to override the default values for these response headers: X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options and Strict-Transport-Security SSP-3023/RTC569596 (CM,Engine) - (SFTP) Upgrade Maverick to latest 1.7.xx for additional ciphers The Maverick 1.6.x toolkit goes out of support at the end of 2019. Also, there have been requests for additional ciphers which are provided in the 1.7.x toolkit. Resolution: Now utilize the Maverick J2SSH client and SSHD server toolkits, which also supply the following new ciphers New ciphers: aes128-gcm@openssh.com, aes256-gcm@openssh.com New macs: hmac-ripemd160, hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com, hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com New groups: ecdh-sha2-nistp256, ecdh-sha2-nistp384, ecdh-sha2-nistp521, curve25519-sha256@libssh.org SSP-3109/SSP-3578 (CM) - Better help in change password screen When the password policy is used for CM users, there should be better messages in the change password screen. Resolution: Added popup assistance messages such as, "Your password is required to contain at least one of the following characters `#@$%^&* " And, "Confirm password must match New Password". SSP-3444/No APAR (CM) - Internal AppScan - CSRF - Login SSPNonce An internal APPScan revealed that CM GUI sessions were using an insufficient authentication method. Resolution: Now validate the value of the "Referer" header and use a one-time nonce for each submitted form. SSP-3446/No APAR (CM) - (GUI) Adapters listed out of order in monitor tab In the CM monitor tab, the Engine status lines were in alphanumeric order but the adapter lines were not. Resolution: Corrected the monitor screen to display the adapters in alphanumeric order. SSP-3451/No APAR (CM) - (GUI) Ensure HTTP Header values only have ASCII characters Http headers need to be validated to make sure that values are in ascii format. Resolution: Now validate the HTTP headers for ASCII data. SSP-3458/No APAR (CM) - Internal AppScan - HTTP cookies An internal APPScan recommended some updates for HTTP cookies used to access the GUI. Resolution: Now set the domain and path for HTTP cookies containing session identifiers to an appropriately restricted value for the site. SSP-3511/No APAR (CM, Engine) - (PeSIT) Netmap not accepting wildcard entries The PeSIT protocol netmap for inbound entries was not allowing wildcard patterns, such as "CX1*" or "CX2*", only a full wildcard "*" or full names. Resolution: Now allow the PeSIT netmap to accept peer address patterns. SSP-3515/No APAR (Engine) - Improving messages for PeSIT user blacklisting When using the new blacklisting feature introduced in SSP 6.0, the IP address blacklisting works for PeSIT and indicates that the session was rejected because the address was blacklisted. But while the user blacklisting locked the PeSIT user, the log did not say it was because of blacklisting. Resolution: Now put out SSP0511E message for locked userid which indicates the PeSIT account was locked due to blacklisting. SSP-3525/No APAR (CM) - SAML 2.0 related field validations In the Advanced / SSO Configuration screen, the new SAML 2.0 fields introduced in SSP 6.0 were not being validated fully. Resolution: Now do URL validation for - Service Provider ID, External Portal Login URL, and the External Portal Logout URL. Also for Fully Qualified Host Names, added a similar validation for the Primary Destination Address field, which means the FQDN for SSO will not accept any kind of IP pattern or peer address pattern. ** SSP-3579/No APAR (CM) - SFTP netmap peer address pattern with multiple "?" wildcards fails with PatternSyntaxException SFTP netmap peer address pattern that contained two or more "?" characters was throwing exception *--*java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Dangling meta character. Resolution: Now allow multiple ? characters in the SFTP netmap peer address pattern. SSP-3584/SSP-3597 (CM,Engine,PS,SEAS) - Support for Windows 2016 Resolution: Add support for Windows 2016 - Upgraded all installers to use InstallAnywhere 2018 SP1. SSP-3606/No APAR (CM) - (REST API) Unable to import XML with httpSecurityHeaders The new HTTP Security Header overrides introduced in SSP-2968 were not being handled correctly by the RESTAPI import tool. Resolution: Modified the SSP 6.0 sysglobals.xsd to accept the httpSecurityHeader & cookie domain fields. SSP-3660/ (Engine) - Add limit to number of data buffers being cached in FTP This is an extension of MFT-10257. Resolution: Added new FTP adapter property ftp.max.data.buffers.cache=50 to limit number of data buffers being cached in FTP to avoid an out of memory issue. The value must be an integer > zero and <= 999. MFT-10325/IT29109 (CM) - RESTAPI Issues with importing keyDefEntries. Customer attempting to use the REST API to import a key certificate, but getting, "Create key operation failed. - Error parsing request: expected root xml element to be elements but received keyStoreDef". Workaround: Set N=-DvalidateThruXSD=false in the bin/startCM.sh. Resolution: Updated the XSD syntax definition file to allow user to provide input xml with tag as the root. Also made changes to the createKeyDef, modifyKeyDefEntries and deleteKeyDefEntries apis to make them work correctly with the CLI. Now also removed the ability to add or delete certificates in the internal CM->System->Certificate Stores, since they do not allow updates from the GUI either. MFT-10341/IT29130 (Engine) - (HTTP) Directory traversal issue Customer noticed that URLs including ..//..//, which is a common directory traversal hack, were being passed back to SI/SFG to be handled. Resolution: Added code to strip the intervening dots and slashes using canonical methods, further protecting the backend server. MFT-10368/IT29310 (Engine) - SSP Nodes getting into deadlock state After applying SSP3432 iFix 4 Plus Build 295, the Customer found that several nodes were hanging, caused by threads in a deadlocked state. Resolution: Corrected a locking mechanism introduced by defect MFT-10257 which caused threads to be deadlocked. MFT-10374/IT29318 (CM) - (RESTAPI) Unable to import keyDefEntries Customer exported their CM configuration using the RESTAPI but could not import it back in. They were getting "cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'keyauthReqdBeforePwdauth'" Resolution: Updated the xsd definition file to allow the keyauthReqdBeforePwdauth keyword on import. MFT-10382/IT29278 (PS) - More Secure PS (MSPS) scripts on Windows have wrong service name When installing a Perimeter Server on Windows as a More Secure PS, the startPSservice.cmd and stopPSservice.cmd scripts are generated without the engine hostname in the service name, so that they will not actually start or stop the service. Resolution: Updated the InstallAnywhere step for a More Secure Perimeter Server to add the Engine host to the Windows Service name: SSP_PerimeterServer_%EnginePort%_$EngineHost$ SSP-3132/ (CM,Engine) - Make TLSv1.2 the default protocol for secure connections SSP formerly installed with TLSv1 as the default TLS protocol. Resolution: For new installs, make TLSv1.2 the default protocol everywhere a TLS secure connection is made. SSP-3525/ (CM) - SSO Configuration allowing invalid characters The CM->Advanced->SSO Configuration was allowing special characters other than "-", "_", "." and ":" in the "Fully Qualified Hostname" field. Resolution: Now ensure that the hosthame value only uses standard characters. SSP-3531/ (CM) - Correct legacy "TLS_ONLY" value to correct JSSE equivalent An older configuration may contain the "TLS_ONLY" protocol value, which resulted in "java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: TLS_ONLY SSLContext not available" Resolution: Now automatically convert TSL_ONLY to the correct JSSE equivalent. SSP-3542/ (Engine) - Only allow selected whitelisted pages under /Signon to be rendered by engine Clients accessing the SSP HTTP proxy adapter login portal send requests with a URL path starting with /Signon/. Currently SSP will render any html pages and resources under the login dir configured (/Signon/). Update the Http Proxy in SSP to white list the html pages and other resources being rendered to the client. A new property file is created at /portal/pages.properties. Secure proxy will render only the files listed in this properties file. If a page request is made to a file not in the properties file, the following error is returned: Engine_host is currently unable to handle this request. ACTION: If you have additional files under the /Signon/ directory as part of cutomizing the Login portal, you need to add entries for them similar to the existing entries in the /portal/pages.properties file. SSP-3561/ (Engine) - HSM IBMPKCS11 sample config files SSP was shipping the Luna 5.0 configuration file for Customers who use HSM boxes, even though that version is no longer supported. Resolution: Now ship the Lunx 6.0 configuration file in the /conf directory and include all the supported IBMPKCS11 sample config files in a new file called /conf/PKCS11ConfigFiles.zip. SSP-3592/ (Engine) - Prompt for HSM password in configureHsmPassword utility The configureHsmPassword utility only allowed specifying the HSM password on the command line which exposes the password in the system log. Resolution: The configureHsmPassword utility now prompts for the HSM password and does not echo the typing. SSP-3597/ (Engine,CM,PS) - InstallAnywhere 2018 upgrade Resolution: Upgraded to InstallAnywhere 2018, which provides support for Windows 2016 Server. SSP-3698/ (Engine) - Adapter and netmap logs going to secureproxy.log instead, missing log files The fix for MFT-9915 caused the adapter and netmap logs to no longer be created, with all logging going to the secureproxy.log. Resolution: Corrected the fix to not create a new appender for a new session if the appender and logger already existed, but to use the existing proven method when starting to log to a new file. MFT-10242/PSIRT15330 (Engine,CM,PS) - Update JRE 1.8 to SR5 FP35 (8.0.5.35) for security patches. Resolution: Update the JRE 1.8 to bring it up to the Oracle April 2019 level to satisfy the CVEs in PSIRT advisory 15330. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10885937 for the Security Bulletin. ACTION - JRE 1.8 SR5 FP35 (8.0.5.35) introduced a change to disable anon and null cipher suites via the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms parameter in the /jre/lib/security/java.security file. If your site uses these suites for testing, update your java.security file to remove the last 2 parms: jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, DH keySize < 1024, DESede, \ EC keySize < 224, 3DES_EDE_CBC, anon, NULL ACTION - The java.security file includes a new parm for distrusting CAs: jdk.security.caDistrustPolicies=SYMANTEC_TLS For more information, see the writeup in the java.security file. MFT-10422/IT29819 (Engine) - (HSM) FTPS data channel hangs during SSL handshake with HSM enabled The HSM keystore was taking a long time to load during the ssl handshake which resulted in session timeouts. Resolution: Now load the HSM keystore during engine startup time and keep it in memory to speed up subsequent handshakes. Also, reload the HSM keystore periodically based on the value of the RELOAD_HSM_KEYSTORE_TIME parm in the /bin/security.property file, default 15 (minutes). MFT-10444/IT29840 (CM) - RESTAPI script fails if the admin user is defined to use external authentication The RESTAPI was doing local authentication in addition to external auth when the admin user running the RESTAP was defined as using EA. Resolution: Now properly authenticate users defined as external auth when running the RESTAPI. MFT-10470/IT29819 (Engine) - HTTP 500 message for /Signon/login.html after upgrade to SSP6000 iFix 2+ B189. The new blaklist/whitelist feature in SSP6000 was interfering with the portal pages (/Signon, etc) on a UNIX/Linux sytem. The whitelist page list in /bin/portal/pages.properties used backward slashes for all the page names, which was only compatible with Windows systems. Resolution: Changed all the white listed page names to use forward slashes as the path separator. And now in the code, convert the path to forward slash to compare no matter if it is UNIX or Windows. SSP-3771/ - Add direction arrows ===> for readability in FTP logs Resolution: Added some directional arrows in the logging for FTP control channel traffic to make it easier to follow the flow of data between the client and SSP and between SSP and the back end server. Examples: ===> RECV fr Client: SEND to Server ===>: RECV fr Server <===: <=== SEND to Client: SSP-3788/ (Engine) - Installation JPEG picture contains wrong product name Resolution: Updated the JPEG file to contain the correct product name.
