IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 < Fix Pack 2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 66375

Synopsis

The remote application server may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 before Fix Pack 2 appears to be running on the remote host and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- The included Java SDK contains several errors that affect the application directly. (CVE-2013-0169, CVE-2013-0440, CVE-2013-0443)

- Input validation errors exist related to the administration console that could allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-0458 / PM71139, CVE-2013-0461 / PM71389, CVE-2013-0542 / PM81846, CVE-2013-0565 / PM83402)

- An input validation error exists related to the administration console that could allow cross-site scripting attacks. Note that this issue affects only the application when running on z/OS operating systems.
(CVE-2013-0459 / PM72536)

- An unspecified error could allow security bypass for authenticated users. (CVE-2013-0462 / PM76886 or PM79937)

- An error exists related to 'WS-Security' and SOAP message handling that could allow an attacker to spoof message signatures. (CVE-2013-0482 / PM76582)

- An error exists related to authentication cookies that could allow remote attackers to gain access to restricted resources. Note this only affects the application when running the 'Liberty Profile'.
(CVE-2013-0540 / PM81056)

- A buffer overflow error exists related to 'WebSphere Identity Manger (WIM)' that could allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2013-0541 / PM74909)

- An unspecified error could allow security bypass, thus allowing remote attackers access to restricted resources on HP, Linux and Solaris hosts.
(CVE-2013-0543 / PM75582)

- An unspecified error related to the administration console could allow directory traversal attacks on Unix and Linux hosts. (CVE-2013-0544 / PM82468)

Solution

Apply Fix Pack 2 for version 8.5 (8.5.0.2) or later.
