medium Nessus Plugin ID 53475

Synopsis

The remote application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 37 appears to be running on the remote host. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- It is possible to trigger a DoS condition via SAAJ API provided by the WebSphere Web services runtime.
(PM19534)

- An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the IVT application. (PM20393)

- The AuthCache purge implementation is not able to purge a user in AuthCache. (PM24668)

- A remote attacker can gain unspecified application access on z/OS, when a Local OS user registry or Federated Repository with RACF adapter is used. (PM35478)

Solution

If using WebSphere Application Server, apply Fix Pack 37 (6.1.0.37) or later.

Otherwise, if using embedded WebSphere Application Server packaged with Tivoli Directory Server, apply the latest recommended eWAS fix pack.
