medium Nessus Plugin ID 144083

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of IBM HTTP Server running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

- Unspecified vulnerability in GSKit on IBM MQ M2000 appliances before 8.0.0.4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7421.
(CVE-2015-7420)

- GSKit in IBM Security Network Protection 5.3.1 before 5.3.1.7 and 5.3.2 allows remote attackers to discover credentials by triggering an MD5 collision. (CVE-2016-0201)

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

Solution

Upgrade to IBM HTTP Server version 8.5.5.9, 8.0.0.13 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack level required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PI54962.
