"IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 27 appears to be
running on the remote host.  As such, it is reportedly affected by
multiple vulnerabilities :

  - The Eclipse help system included with WebSphere
    Application Server is affected by a cross-site
    scripting vulnerability. (PK78917)

  - It may be possible to bypass security restrictions
    using a specially crafted HTTP HEAD method. (PK83258)

  - 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)

  - If JAAS-J2C Authentication Data is configured using
    wsadmin scripts, the password value may appear in
    FFDC logs. (PK86137)

  - Apache APR-util is affected by a denial of service
    issue. (PK88341)

  - Due to an error in expat XML parser, APR-util is
    affected by a denial of service issue. (PK88342)

  - It may be possible to trigger a denial of service
    attack due to errors in Fix Packs 6.1.0.23 and
    6.1.0.25. (PK91709)");
