NASL family Web Servers NASL id WEBSPHERE_8_5_5_4.NASL description The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 8.5 prior to Fix Pack 8.5.5.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Multiple errors exist related to the included IBM HTTP server that can allow remote code execution or denial of service. (CVE-2013-5704, CVE-2014-0118, CVE-2014-0226, CVE-2014-0231 / PI22070) - An unspecified error exists related to HTTP headers that can allow information disclosure. (CVE-2014-3021 / PI08268) - An error exists related to the way SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. A man-in-the-middle attacker can decrypt a selected byte of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able to force a victim application to repeatedly send the same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.
