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.x prior or equal to 7.0.0.6, 8.0.x, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.17, or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by using a specially crafted URL to obtain any file in a certain directory.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.17, 9.0.5.1, or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack levels required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PH14796.
