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.");
