NASL family Web Servers NASL id WEBSPHERE_8_5_5_6.NASL description The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.39, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.11, or 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.6. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A security feature bypass vulnerability, known as FREAK (Factoring attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys), exists in the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) due to the support of weak EXPORT_RSA cipher suites with keys less than or equal to 512 bits. A man-in-the-middle attacker may be able to downgrade the SSL/TLS connection to use EXPORT_RSA cipher suites which can be factored in a short amount of time, allowing the attacker to intercept and decrypt the traffic. (CVE-2015-0138) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the Bleichenbacher countermeasure implementation in Apache WSS4J. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted message, to determine where an encryption failure to place, allowing the attacker to gain access to the plaintext symmetric key. (CVE-2015-0226) - An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists due to an incorrectly configured XML parser that accepts XML external entities from an untrusted source. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted XML data, to gain access to arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-0250) - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to a flaw that occurs in last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 84639 published 2015-07-09 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2018 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/84639 title IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 < 7.0.0.39 (FP39) / 8.0 < 8.0.0.11 (FP11) / 8.5 < 8.5.5.6 (FP6) Multiple Vulnerabilities (Bar Mitzvah) (FREAK) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(84639); script_version("1.11"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2018/08/06 14:03:16"); script_cve_id( "CVE-2015-0138", "CVE-2015-0226", "CVE-2015-0250", "CVE-2015-1885", "CVE-2015-1927", "CVE-2015-1932", "CVE-2015-1936", "CVE-2015-1946", "CVE-2015-2808", "CVE-2015-4938" ); script_bugtraq_id( 72553, 73326, 73684, 74219, 75480, 75486, 75496, 76463, 76466 ); script_xref(name:"CERT", value:"243585"); script_name(english:"IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0 < 7.0.0.39 (FP39) / 8.0 < 8.0.0.11 (FP11) / 8.5 < 8.5.5.6 (FP6) Multiple Vulnerabilities (Bar Mitzvah) (FREAK)"); script_summary(english:"Reads the version number from the SOAP port."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value: "The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0 prior to 7.0.0.39, 8.0 prior to 8.0.0.11, or 8.5 prior to 8.5.5.6.
