    descriptionThe version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Apache Struts component due to improper handling of multithreaded access to an ActionForm instance. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted multipart request, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-1181) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Web Services subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to modify or delete arbitrary data accessible to the server. (CVE-2017-3506) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Web Container subcomponent due to improper handling of reflected PartItem File requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3531) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Apache Struts component in the Jakarta Multipart parser due to improper handling of the Content-Type, Content-Disposition, and Content-Length headers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted header value in the HTTP request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5638)
