IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 < Fix Pack 33 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 76967

Synopsis

The remote application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 prior to Fix Pack 33 is running on the remote host. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A cross-site scripting flaw exists within the Administration Console, where user input is improperly validated. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship.
(CVE-2013-6323, PI04777 and PI04880)

- A denial of service flaw exists within the Global Security Kit when handling SSLv2 resumption during the SSL/TLS handshake. This could allow a remote attacker to crash the program. (CVE-2013-6329, PI05309)

- A buffer overflow flaw exists in the HTTP server with the mod_dav module when using add-ons. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow and a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6438, PI09345)

- A cross-site scripting flaw exists within OAuth where user input is not properly validated. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship. (CVE-2013-6738, PI05661)

- A denial of service flaw exists within the Global Security Kit when handling X.509 certificate chain during the initiation of an SSL/TLS connection. A remote attacker, using a malformed certificate chain, could cause the client or server to crash by hanging the Global Security Kit. (CVE-2013-6747, PI09443)

- A denial of service flaw exists within the Apache Commons FileUpload when parsing a content-type header for a multipart request. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, could crash the program.
(CVE-2014-0050, PI12648, PI12926 and PI13162)

- A denial of service flaw exists in the 'mod_log_config' when logging a cookie with an unassigned value. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, can cause the program to crash. (CVE-2014-0098, PI13028)

- A remote code execution flaw exists with Apache Struts.
The failure to restrict setting of Class loader attributes could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary script code. (CVE-2014-0114, PI17190)

- An information disclosure flaw exists in the 'sun.security.rsa.RSAPadding' with 'PKCS#1' unpadding.
This many allow a remote attacker to gain timing information intended to be protected by encryption.
(CVE-2014-0453)

- A flaw exists within 'com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsClient' related to the randomization of query IDs. This could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks.
(CVE-2014-0460)

- A denial of service flaw exists in a web server plugin on servers configured to retry failed POST request. This could allow a remote attacker to crash the application.
(CVE-2014-0859, PI08892)

- A flaw exists with the 'IBMJCE' and 'IBMSecureRandom' cryptographic providers by generating numbers in a predictable manner. This could allow a remote attacker to easily guess the output of the random number generator. (CVE-2014-0878)

- An information disclosure flaw exists within Proxy and ODR servers. This could allow a remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, to gain access to potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2014-0891, PI09786)

- A denial of service flaw exists within the IBM Security Access Manager for Web with the Reverse Proxy component.
This could allow a remote attacker, using specially crafted TLS traffic, to cause the application on the system to become unresponsive. (CVE-2014-0963, PI17025)

- An information disclosure flaw exists when handling SOAP responses. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially gain access to sensitive information.
(CVE-2014-0965, PI11434)

- An information disclosure flaw exists. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted URL, could gain access to potentially sensitive information.
(CVE-2014-3022, PI09594)

Solution

If using WebSphere Application Server, apply Fix Pack 33 (7.0.0.33) or later.

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