4.6.0.5_iFix010: RTC462325 / APAR IT08243 / CVE-2015-2808, CVE-2011-3389
Description of Issue: CBC ciphers are vulnerable to CVE-2011-3389 (BEAST Attack). Previous recommendation to mitigate CVE-2011-3389 was to not use CBC ciphers. RC4 ciphers are vulnerable to CVE-2015-2808 (Bar Mitzvah Attack). Current recommendation to mitigate CVE-2015-2808 is to discontinue use of RC4 ciphers. However, the remaining available ciphers are generally CBC ciphers.
Description of Fix: Fixed code to mitigate CVE-2011-3389 (BEAST Attack).
Recommendation: Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows by default disables the RC4 stream cipher. If you enabled the RC4 stream cipher you are exposed to the RC4 “Bar Mitzvah” Attack for SSL/TLS. IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify other areas where you have enabled the RC4 stream cipher and take appropriate mitigation and remediation actions.

Description of Issue: When a process fails with an exception response, like LSMG622I and SCPA024I, it was moved to the HOLD queue but with a wrong status of HS. As a side effect of this status, the process will get restarted at the next node startup.
Description of Fix: Updated exception handling to correctly move the process to HOLD HE.

4.6.0.5_iFix019: RTC477370 / APAR IT11470
Description of Issue: Add the ability to create a configuration report from the CLI.
Description of Fix: Updated the CLI (Direct.exe) and its internal help command to support the new parameter 'cdconfig' on the traceon command. The configuration report will be written to a file named cdconfig.txt created in the same folder as the specified trace file. For example, enter the following command line in the CLI to create a configuration report in C:\Temp\cdconfig.txt:
traceon file=C:\Temp\dummy.cdt config;

4.6.0.5_iFix020: RTC479415 / APAR IT11985
Description of Issue: File Allocation Retry has been configured, for example to let the process retry when a remote GDG dataset is in use (retry.msgids=SDEGDGRI). Occasionally a remote node returned the retry-able msgid with a Completion Code of 16 (fatal error) instead of CC=8. In these cases the process got stuck in TIMR RE with Hold=Y and did not retry.
Description of Fix: Ensured that the hold status is set to N when a process is scheduled for a retry. This allows File Allocation Retry even for fatal error conditions.

4.6.0.5_iFix022: RTC487432 / APAR IT12990
Description of Issue: When parsing or validating a process, the parser silently truncates file names in COPY and SUBMIT statements when they are too long. It does not show any errors, allowing the process to be submitted with wrong file names.
Description of Fix: Process validation will fail and the parser returns an error as expected.
