running on the remote host.  As such, it is reportedly affected by
multiple flaws :

  - An attribute in a SOAP security header may cause a
    security exposure in Web Services applications.

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the native AIO library
    when running on AIX 5.3 may result in a denial of
    service when calling into the 'libibmaio.so' library
