Buffer overflow in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.47, 7.0 before 7.0.0.29, 8.0 before 8.0.0.6, and 8.5 before 8.5.0.2 on Windows, when a localOS registry is used in conjunction with WebSphere Identity Manger (WIM), allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified vectors.

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 47 appears to be running on the remote host.  As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A remote attacker can bypass authentication because of     improper user validation on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX     platforms that use a LocalOS registry.
    (CVE-2013-0543, PM75582)

  - A denial of service can be caused by the way Apache     Ant uses bzip2 to compress files. This can be exploited     by a local attacker passing specially crafted input.
    (CVE-2012-2098, PM90088)

  - A local attacker can cause a denial of service on     Windows platforms with a LocalOS registry using     WebSphere Identity Manager. (CVE-2013-0541, PM74909)

  - Remote attackers can traverse directories by deploying     a specially crafted application file to overwrite files     outside of the application deployment directory.
    (CVE-2012-3305, PM62467)

  - The TLS protocol implementation is susceptible to     plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of     timing data for crafted packets. (CVE-2013-0169,     PM85211)

  - Terminal escape sequences are not properly filtered from     logs. Remote attackers could execute arbitrary commands     via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence.
    (CVE-2013-1862, PM87808)

  - Improper validation of user input allows for cross-site     request forgery. By persuading an authenticated user     to visit a malicious website, a remote attacker could     exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive     information. (CVE-2012-4853, CVE-2013-3029, PM62920,     PM88746)

  - Improper validation of user input in the administrative     console allows for multiple cross-site scripting     attacks. (CVE-2013-0458, CVE-2013-0459, CVE-2013-0461,     CVE-2013-0542, CVE-2013-0596, CVE-2013-2967,     CVE-2013-4005, CVE-2013-4052, PM71139, PM72536, PM71389,     PM73445, PM78614, PM81846, PM88208, PM91892)

  - Improper validation of portlets in the administrative     console allows for cross-site request forgery, which     could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2013-0460, PM72275)

  - Remote, authenticated attackers can traverse directories     on Linux and UNIX systems running the application.
    (CVE-2013-0544, PM82468)

  - A denial of service attack is possible if the optional     mod_dav module is being used. (CVE-2013-1896, PM89996)

  - Sensitive information can be obtained by a local     attacker because of incorrect caching by the     administrative console. (CVE-2013-2976, PM79992)

  - An attacker may gain elevated privileges because of     improper certificate checks. WS-Security and XML Digital     Signatures must be enabled. (CVE-2013-4053, PM90949,     PM91521)

  - Deserialization of a maliciously crafted OpenJPA object     can result in an executable file being written to the     file system. WebSphere is NOT vulnerable to this issue     but the vendor suggests upgrading to be proactive.
    (CVE-2013-1768, PM86780, PM86786, PM86788, PM86791)

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 29 appears to be running on the remote host.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The TLS protocol in the GSKIT component is vulnerable     to a plaintext recovery attack. (CVE-2013-0169, PM85211)

  - The WS-Security run time contains a flaw that could be     triggered by a specially crafted SOAP request to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-0482, PM76582)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists, caused by a     buffer overflow on localOS registry when using WebSphere     Identity Manager (WIM). (CVE-2013-0541, PM74909)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     related to the administrative console. (CVE-2013-0542,     CVE-2013-2967, PM78614, PM81846)

  - A validation flaw exists relating to 'Local OS     registries' that may allow a remote attacker to bypass     security. (CVE-2013-0543, PM75582)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the     administrative console via the 'PARAMETER' parameter.
    (CVE-2013-0544, PM82468)

  - A flaw exists relating to OAuth that could allow a     remote attacker to obtain someone else's credentials.
    (CVE-2013-0597, PM85834, PM87131)

  - A flaw exists relating to OpenJPA that is triggered     during deserialization that may allow a remote attacker     to write to the file system and potentially execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-1768, PM86780, PM86786,     PM86788, PM86791)

  - An information disclosure issue exists relating to     incorrect caching by the administrative console.
    (CVE-2013-2976, PM79992)

  - A user-supplied input validation error exists that could     allow cross-site request (CSRF) attacks to be carried     out. (CVE-2013-3029, PM88746)

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)
