medium Nessus Plugin ID 34501

Synopsis

The remote application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2 before Fix Pack 31 appears to be running on the remote host. As such, it is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- By sending a specially crafted HTTP request with the 'Host' header field set to more than 256 bytes, it may be possible to crash the remote application server.
(PK69371)
- An unspecified security exposure vulnerability exists if 'fileServing' feature is enabled. (PK64302)

- Web services security fails to honor Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) configured in Certificate Store Collections. (PK61258)

- Provided Performance Monitoring Infrastructur (PMI) is enabled, it may be possible for an local attacker to obtain sensitive information.

Solution

Apply Fix Pack 31 (6.0.2.31) or later.
