4.6.0.3_iFix017: RTC402130 / APAR IC99880
Description of Issue: When using Secure Point of Entry on Windows, the SNODE exposes its effective local user ID derived from the proxy to the PNODE.
Description of Fix: Fixed the logic of logging the 'SNode User ID' field on the SNODE. The logic got implemented in version 4.5.00 and was incorrectly overwriting some snodeid structure that gets returned to the PNODE.
Fix Availability Date: 04 March 2014
High Impact: N
Reported Severity: 3
4.6.0.3_iFix018: RTC414380 / APAR IT00339
Description of Issue: Several inconsistencies around specifying a checkpoint interval value in initialization parameters or in CD Requester. For example, initialization parameters do not display the value as M when possible. When the user sets a new value, it is not always validated and converted correctly. When resetting the value, a default of 64 K is applied instead of 10 M as documented. Edit control in CD Requester is too small and only allows the user to enter 3-digits.
Description of Fix: Updated validation routines to use a consistent upper limit of 2047 megabytes (M) or 2097151 kilobytes (K) for the checkpoint interval. Fixed the default to be 10 M. Fixed KM-to-bytes conversion routines to check for overflow and fail. Updated the Edit Control in the COPY statement UI in CD Requester allowing the user to enter up to 7 digits.

4.6.0.3_iFix020: RTC408632 / APAR IT00728 / RFE 405966
Description of Issue: Sterling Connect:Direct for Windows Total Max Sessions enforcement
Description of Fix: Added a new initialization parameter sess.total. It works similar to sess.pnode.max and sess.snode.max, except that it limits the maximum concurrent connections for all remote nodes in total. Valid numeric values are 1 to 510. The initial value if not specified is the sum of sess.pnode.max plus sess.snode.max.
Fix Availability Date: 03 April 2014

Important Note: Key certificates using the PKCS5 1.5 PBE-MD5-DES algorithm to encrypt the private key need to be converted manually. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21676660 for details.
4.6.0.4_iFix003: RTC424914 / APAR IT03709
Description of Issue: The CD Secure+ Admin Tool and CD Secure+ CLI shortcuts may loose the 'Run as administrator' (RAA) setting when applying some fix packs or iFixes. As a result, the shortcuts may not trigger the tools correctly, so that the user would not work on the correct configuration data.
Description of Fix: The installer has been updated to set the RAA option on shortcuts in the above scenarios, too.
Workaround: Enable the RAA checkbox manually in the advanced properties of those shortcuts.

Reported Severity: 2
4.6.0.4_iFix004: RTC437894 / APAR IT04504
Description of Issue: Sterling Control Center was unable to catch up on statistics with a busy Connect Direct Windows node. Select Statistics queries started to take longer and longer to complete. The Connect Direct Windows responded slowly and solidDB started to create lots of temporary files (sxs*.*).
Description of Fix: Widely increased the performance for the type of Select Statistics queries initiated by Sterling Control Center. These queries specify the LIMIT parameter and do not include wildcards or SFILE/DFILE.
Workaround: See the following Technote at https://www.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg21682729: Many solidDB® temp files are being created and it caused the Connect:Direct Disk to fill up and CD statistic cannot be collected.

High Impact: Y
Reported Severity: 2
4.6.0.4_iFix009: RTC446820 / APAR IT05253 / CVE-2014-3566
Description of Issue: The SSLv3 protocol contains a number of weaknesses including POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption, CVE-2014-3566). IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows is therefore also vulnerable when the SSLv3 protocol is used.
Recommendation: SSLv3 is an obsolete and insecure protocol. Use the TLS protocol instead. To fully disable SSLv3 and use TLS instead, ensure that all secure connections are configured to 'Enable TLS Protocol' and 'Disable Override'.
Description of Fix: Added a protocol level check to prevent a remote attacker from initiating an SSLv3 fallback when the session must be TLS.

4.6.0.5_iFix006: RTC458179 / APAR IT07518 / CVE-2014-3570, CVE-2015-0204, CVE-2015-0205
Description of Issue: Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows uses OpenSSL. Several vulnerabilities were reported in OpenSSL which makes OpenSSL vulnerable to an unspecified error (CVE-2014-3570) and remote attacks (CVE-2015-0204 aka FREAK attack, CVE-2015-0205). IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows is therefore also vulnerable.
Description of Fix: Updated OpenSSL to version 1.0.1l. Also removed the weak RSA_EXPORT cipher suites from Cipher.txt, so that users will no longer be able to add them when configuring Secure+. Note that this will not remove these cipher suites from any existing configuration and you will have to remove them manually here.
Recommendation: RSA_EXPORT cipher suites are weak and drepreciated. It is recommended to remove all RSA_EXPORT ciphers from the Secure+ configuration. For each entry listed in CD Secure+ Admin Tool, go to its TLS/SSL Protocol tab and remove any RSA_EXPORT cipher listed as Enabled.
