"The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is
8.5.0 prior to 8.5.0 CF06. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - An buffer overflow flaw exists in the Outside In Filters
    subcomponent due to 'ibpsd2.dll' not properly validating
    user-supplied input in PSD files. An attacker can
    exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0493)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Remote Document
    Conversion Service (DCS) that allows a remote attacker
    to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-1886)

  - A flaw exists when handling a specially crafted request
    that allows a remote attacker to use too many available
    resources, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2015-1899)

  - A flaw exists that allows a reflected cross-site
    scripting attack due to a failure to validate input
    before returning it back to the user. A remote attacker,
    using a crafted URL, can exploit this to execute code
    or HTML within the user's browser. (CVE-2015-1908,
    CVE-2015-1944)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the
    Active Content Filtering component due to improperly
    validating user-supplied input. A remote attacker can
    exploit this by creating a specially crafted URL
    designed to execute script code in the victim's web
    browser. (CVE-2015-1917)

  - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site redirection
    attack due to a failure to validate certain unspecified
    input before returning it to the user. An attacker,
    using specially crafted URL, can exploit this to
    redirect victims to a website of the attacker's own
    choosing. (CVE-2015-1921)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that is trigged when handling
    Portal requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to
    cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a
    denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1943)");
