IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0 < 9.0.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9722

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 9.0 prior to 9.0.0.1. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :

- 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 overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing them to bypass security restrictions and disclose sensitive 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.

Solution

Upgrade WebSphere Application Server to 9.0.0.1 or later.
