NASL family Web Servers NASL id WEBSPHERE_8_0_0_9.NASL description IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0 prior to Fix Pack 9 is running on the remote host. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A cross-site scripting flaw exists within the Administration Console, where user input is improperly validated. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship. (CVE-2013-6323, PI04777 and PI04880) - A denial of service flaw exists within the Global Security Kit when handling SSLv2 resumption during the SSL/TLS handshake. This could allow a remote attacker to crash the program. (CVE-2013-6329, PI05309) - A buffer overflow flaw exists in the HTTP server with the mod_dav module when using add-ons. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow and a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6438, PI09345) - A cross-site scripting flaw exists within OAuth where user input is not properly validated. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship. (CVE-2013-6738, PI05661) - A denial of service flaw exists within the Global Security Kit when handling X.509 certificate chain during the initiation of a SSL/TLS connection. A remote attacker, using a malformed certificate chain, could cause the client or server to crash by hanging the Global Security Kit. (CVE-2013-6747, PI09443) - A denial of service flaw exists within the Apache Commons FileUpload when parsing a content-type header for a multipart request. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, could crash the program.
