"IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 before Fix Pack 5 appears to be
running on the remote host.  As such, it is reportedly affected by
multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Non-standard HTTP methods are allowed. (PK73246)

  - If the admin console is directly accessed from HTTP,
    the console fails to redirect the connection to a
    secure login page. (PK77010)

  - An error in Single Sign-on (SSO) with SPNEGO 
    implementation could allow a remote attacker
    to bypass security restrictions. (PK77465)

  - 'wsadmin' is affected by a security exposure. 
    (PK77495)  

  - Security flag 'isSecurityEnabled' is incorrectly set
    after migrating from VMM. (PK78134)

  - Use of insecure password obfuscation algorithm by Web
    services could result in weaker than expected security
    provided the client module specifies a password in 
    ibm-webservicesclient-bind.xmi and target environment 
    has custom password encryption enabled. (PK79275)

  - After upgrading from WebSphere Application Server V6.1 
    to V7.0 with tracing enabled, an attacker may be able
    view sensitive information by viewing the trace files.
    (PK80337)  

  - If CSIv2 Security is configured with Identity 
    Assertion, it may be possible for a remote
    attacker to bypass security restrictions. (PK83097)

  - New applications deployed in WebSphere Application 
    Server for z/OS prior to 1.8 are saved on the file
    system with insecure privileges resulting in
    disclosure of sensitive information. (PK83308)

  - Configservice APIs could display sensitive information.
    (PK84999)

  - Vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP server could allow a
    local user to gain elevated privileges. (PK86232)

  - A error in 'wsadmin' could allow a remote attacker
    to bypass security restrictions. (PK86328)
   
  - A vulnerability in portlet serving enable parameter
    could allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions
    and gain unauthorized access to the application.
