The Servlet Engine/Web Container and JSP components in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 5.1.0, 5.1.1.19, 6.0.2 before 6.0.2.35, 6.1 before 6.1.0.23, and 7.0 before 7.0.0.3 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files contained in war files in (1) web-inf, (2) meta-inf, and unspecified other directories via unknown vectors, related to (a) web-based applications and (b) the administrative console.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 23 appears to be running on the remote host.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Provided an attacker has valid credentials, it may be possible to hijack an authenticated session. (PK66676)

  - It may be possible for a remote attacker to redirect users to arbitrary sites using ibm_security_logout servlet. (PK71126) 

  - Under certain conditions it may be possible to access administrative console user sessions. (PK74966)

  - If APAR PK41002 has been applied, an unspecified vulnerability in JAX-RPC WS-Security component could incorrectly validate 'UsernameToken'. (PK75992)

  - Sample applications shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server are affected by cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (PK76720)

  - The adminitrative console is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. (PK77505)

  - It may be possible for an attacker to read arbitrary application-specific war files. (PK81387)

  - A session highjacking vulnerability exists in the 'forced logout' feature. (PK74966)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 3 appears to be running on the remote host.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Under certain conditions it may be possible to access administrative console user sessions. (PK74966)

  - The adminitrative console is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. (PK77505)

  - If APAR PK41002 has been applied, an unspecified vulnerability in JAX-RPC WS-Security component could incorrectly validate 'UsernameToken'. (PK75992)

  - Sample applications shipped with IBM WebSphere Application Server are affected by cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (PK76720)

  - Certain files associated with interim fixes for Unix-based versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server are built with insecure file permissions. (PK77590)

  - The Web Services Security component is affected by an unspecified security issue in digital-signature specification. (PK80596)

  - It may be possible for an attacker to read arbitrary application-specific war files. (PK81387)

  - The application is prone to a session-highjacking vulnerability related to the 'forced logout' feature. (PK74966)

  - A vulnerability affects the XML Digital Signature Specification in the web services security component. (PK80596)
