The Web Services Security component in the Web Services Feature Pack before 6.1.0.41 for IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 does not properly handle the enabling of WS-Security for a JAX-WS application, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 23 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security exposure when using WS-Security could result     in a user gaining elevated privileges in applications     using JAX-RPC. (PM45181 / CVE-2011-1377)

  - SSL client certificate authentication can be bypassed     when all of the following are true (PM52351) :

      - SSL is enabled with 'SSLEnable'
      - SSL client authentication is enabled with         'SSLClientAuth required_reset'. This is not enabled         by default. Also note, 'SSLClientAuth required' is         not affected.
      - SSLv2 has not been disabled with         'SSLProtocolDisable SSLv2'
      - 'SSLClientAuthRequire' is not enabled

  - Unspecified cross-site scripting issues exist related to     the administrative console. (PM52274, PM53132)

  - An error exists related to 'Application Snoop Servlet'     and missing access controls. This error can allow     sensitive information to be disclosed. (PM56183)

  - An issue related to the weak randomization of Java hash     data structures can allow a remote attacker to cause a     denial of service with maliciously crafted POST requests.
    (PM53930)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 before Fix Pack 3 appears to be running on the remote host and is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Unspecified cross-site scripting issues exist related to     the administrative console. (PM52274, PM53132)

  - An issue related to the weak randomization of Java hash     data structures can allow a remote attacker to cause a     denial of service with maliciously crafted POST requests.
    (PM53930)

  - An unspecified error exists related to WS-Security     enabled JAX-RPC applications. (PM45181)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 before Fix Pack 2 appears to be running on the remote host and is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting issue exists     related to the 'Web 2.0 Messaging service'. (PM37840)

  - A security exposure when using WS-Security could result     in a user gaining elevated privileges in applications     using JAX-WS. (PM43585 / CVE-2011-1377)

  - Insecure file permissions are applied to the files in     the '$WAS_HOME/systemapps/isclite.ear' and     '$WAS_HOME/bin/client_ffdc' directories. These     permissions can allow a local attacker to read or write     files in those directories. Note this issue only     affects the application on the IBM i operating system.
    (PM49712) 

  - An error exists in the class     'javax.naming.directory.AttributeInUseException' and can     allow old passwords to still provide access. This error     is triggered when passwords are updated by using IBM     Tivoli Directory Server. (PM52049)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 21 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting issue exists     related to the 'Web 2.0 Messaging service'. (PM37840)

  - A security exposure when using WS-Security could result     in a user gaining elevated privileges in applications     using JAX-WS. (PM43585 / CVE-2011-1377)

  - Insecure file permissions are applied to the files in     the '$WAS_HOME/systemapps/isclite.ear' and     '$WAS_HOME/bin/client_ffdc' directories. These     permissions can allow a local attacker to read or write     files in those directories. Note this issue only affects     the application on the IBM i operating system. (PM49712)

  - An error exists in the class     'javax.naming.directory.AttributeInUseException' and can     allow old passwords to still provide access. This error     is triggered when passwords are updated by using IBM     Tivoli Directory Server. (PM52049)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 43 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified error exists related to WS-Security     enabled JAX-RPC applications. (PM45181)

  - Insecure file permissions are applied to the files in     the '$WAS_HOME/systemapps/isclite.ear' and     '$WAS_HOME/bin/client_ffdc' directories. These     permissions can allow a local attacker read or write     files in those directories. Note this issue only     affects the application on the IBM i operating system.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 41 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability via vectors     related to web messaging. (CVE-2011-5065)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Installation     Verification Test (IVT) in the Install component.
    (CVE-2011-1362)

  - The SibRaRecoverableSiXaResource class in the Default     Messaging Component does not properly handle a Service     Integration Bus (SIB) dump operation involving the     Failure Data Capture (FFDC) introspection code.  This     can allow local users to obtain sensitive information by     reading the FFDC log file. (CVE-2011-5066)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability in the     administration console that allows remote attackers to     read arbitrary files on the host. (CVE-2011-1359)

  - A potential Denial of Service with malicious range     requests. (CVE-2011-3192)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the Web Services     Security component when enabling WS-Security for a     JAX-WS application. (CVE-2011-1377)
