IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x < 7.0.0.43 Multiple Vulnerabilities
low Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700015
Synopsis
The remote host is running an application server that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.Description
The remote host appears to be running IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.43. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :- A flaw exists that is triggered as CRLF (Carriage Return and Line Feed) character sequences are not properly sanitized before being included in HTTP responses. This allows a remote attacker to inject additional headers into responses to conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.
- A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of specially crafted SIP messages. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of responses. This may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive server identification information.
- A flaw exists that is due to the program setting insecure unspecified flags on CSRF token cookies, which may allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided by the vendor. Based on past disclosures from IBM, this is likely the 'secure' and/or 'HttpOnly' flag.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered as input is not properly sanitized when deserializing Java objects. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
Solution
Upgrade WebSphere Application Server to 7.0.0.43 or later.See Also
