IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition is vulnerable XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose highly sensitive information or consume memory resources. IBM X-Force ID: 125150.

The version of IBM Java installed on the remote host is prior to 6.0 < 6.0.16.45 / 6.1 < 6.1.8.45 / 7.0 < 7.0.10.5 / 7.1 < 7.1.4.5 / 8.0 < 8.0.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Update May 2017 advisory.

  - inftrees.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging     improper pointer arithmetic. (CVE-2016-9840)

  - inffast.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging     improper pointer arithmetic. (CVE-2016-9841)

  - The inflateMark function in inflate.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have     unspecified impact via vectors involving left shifts of negative integers. (CVE-2016-9842)

  - The crc32_big function in crc32.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have     unspecified impact via vectors involving big-endian CRC calculation. (CVE-2016-9843)

  - IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition is vulnerable XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing     XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose highly sensitive information or     consume memory resources. IBM X-Force ID: 125150. (CVE-2017-1289)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
