IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x <= 7.0.0.45 / 8.0.0.x <= 8.0.0.15 / 8.5.x < 8.5.5.17 / 9.0.x < 9.0.5.2 / Liberty < 19.0.0.11 Information Disclosure (CVE-2019-4441)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 132076

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 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.0 through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.17, or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.5.2, or Liberty prior to 19.0.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by viewing returned stack traces in the browser to obtain sensitive information.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.17, 9.0.5.2, Liberty 19.0.0.11 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack levels required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PH13983.
