Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.43, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.13, 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.10, 9.0 prior to 9.0.0.1, or 16.0 (Liberty) prior to 16.0.0.3.
It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow condition, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information.

Solution

Apply IBM WebSphere Application Server version 7.0 Fix Pack 43 (7.0.0.43) / 8.0 Fix Pack 13 (8.0.0.13) / 8.5 Fix Pack 10 (8.5.5.10) / 9.0 Fix Pack 1 (9.0.0.1) / 16.0 Fix Pack 3 (16.0.0.3) or later.
Alternatively, apply the appropriate Interim Fixes as recommended in the vendor advisory.
