As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An unspecified error exists related to WS-Security enabled JAX-RPC applications. (PM45181) - Insecure file permissions are applied to the files in the '$WAS_HOME/systemapps/isclite.ear' and '$WAS_HOME/bin/client_ffdc' directories. These permissions can allow a local attacker read or write files in those directories. Note this issue only affects the application on the IBM i operating system. (PM49712) - An error exists in the class 'javax.naming.directory.AttributeInUseException' and can allow old passwords to still provide access. This error is triggered when passwords are updated by using IBM Tivoli Directory Server. (PM52049) - Unspecified cross-site scripting issues exist related to the administrative console. (PM52274, PM53132) - SSL client certificate authentication can be bypassed when all of the following are true (PM52351) : - SSL is enabled with 'SSLEnable' - SSL client authentication is enabled with 'SSLClientAuth required_reset'. This is not enabled by default. Also note, 'SSLClientAuth required' is not affected - SSLv2 has not been disabled with 'SSLProtocolDisable SSLv2' - 'SSLClientAuthRequire' is not enabled - An issue related to the weak randomization of Java hash data structures can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service with maliciously crafted POST requests.
