Synopsis
The remote Windows host has web portal software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is 8.5.0 prior to 8.5.0 CF06. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- An buffer overflow flaw exists in the Outside In Filters subcomponent due to 'ibpsd2.dll' not properly validating user-supplied input in PSD files. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0493)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Remote Document Conversion Service (DCS) that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-1886)
- A flaw exists when handling a specially crafted request that allows a remote attacker to use too many available resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-1899)
- A flaw exists that allows a reflected cross-site scripting attack due to a failure to validate input before returning it back to the user. A remote attacker, using a crafted URL, can exploit this to execute code or HTML within the user's browser. (CVE-2015-1908, CVE-2015-1944)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the Active Content Filtering component due to improperly validating user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this by creating a specially crafted URL designed to execute script code in the victim's web browser. (CVE-2015-1917)
- A flaw exists that allows a cross-site redirection attack due to a failure to validate certain unspecified input before returning it to the user. An attacker, using specially crafted URL, can exploit this to redirect victims to a website of the attacker's own choosing. (CVE-2015-1921)
- An unspecified flaw exists that is trigged when handling Portal requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1943)
