IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 < Fix Pack 17 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 55169

Language:

Synopsis

The remote application server may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 17 appears to be running on the remote host. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Use of an insecure XML encryption algorithm could allow for decryption of JAX-RPC or JAX-WS Web Services requests. (PM34841)

- A remote attacker can gain unspecified application access on z/OS, when a Local OS user registry or Federated Repository with RACF adapter is used. (PM35480)

Note that the fix for PM34841 is not enabled by default in order to maintain application compatibility with respect to SOAPFaults. To enable it, it is necessary to set the 'webservices.unify.faults=true' JVM custom property once the update has been installed.

Solution

If using WebSphere Application Server, apply Fix Pack 17 (7.0.0.17) or later.

Otherwise, if using embedded WebSphere Application Server packaged with Tivoli Directory Server, apply the latest recommended eWAS fix pack.
