"IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 before Fix Pack 5 appears to be
running on the remote host.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified error exists related to the
    Administrative Console that can allow an attacker to
    hijack sessions. (CVE-2012-3304, PM54356)

  - An unspecified directory traversal error exists that
    can allow remote attackers to overwrite files outside
    the application's deployment directory. (CVE-2012-3305,
    PM62467)

  - When multi-domain support is enabled, the application
    does not properly purge passwords from the
    authentication cache. (CVE-2012-3306, PM66514)

  - An error exists related to Federated Repositories for
    IIOP connections, Optimized Local Adapters and CBIND
    checking that can allow a local attacker to access or
    modify arbitrary files. Note this issue only affects the
    application when hosted on z/OS. (CVE-2012-3311,
    PM61388)

  - The fix contained in PM44303 contains an error that
    can allow an authenticated attacker to bypass security
    restrictions and gain administrative access to the
    application. (CVE-2012-3325, PM71296)

  - A request validation error exists related to the proxy
    server component that could allow a remote attacker to
    cause the proxy status to be reported as disabled, thus
    denying applications access to the proxy.
    (CVE-2012-3330, PM71319)"
