IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.39 and 7.0 before 7.0.0.17 uses a weak WS-Security XML encryption algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext data from a (1) JAX-RPC or (2) JAX-WS Web Services request via unspecified vectors related to a "decryption attack."
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.0.x through 6.0.2.43, 6.1.x before 6.1.0.37, and 7.0.x before 7.0.0.17 on z/OS, when a Local OS user registry or Federated Repository with RACF adapter is used, allows remote attackers to obtain unspecified application access via unknown vectors.
Memory leak in com.ibm.ws.jsp.runtime.WASJSPStrBufferImpl in the JavaServer Pages (JSP) component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.0.x before 6.1.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending many JSP requests that trigger large responses.
Memory leak in org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl.response in the JavaServer Pages (JSP) component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by accessing a JSP page of an application that is repeatedly stopped and restarted.
The AuthCache purge implementation in the Security component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.0.x before 6.1.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.0.15 does not purge a user from the PlatformCredential cache, which might allow remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging a group membership specified in an old RACF Object (aka RACO).
The SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) implementation in the Web Services component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.0.x before 6.1.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via encrypted SOAP messages.
The installer in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 uses 777 permissions for a temporary log directory, which allows local users to have unintended access to log files via standard filesystem operations, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1173.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Installation Verification Test (IVT) application in the Install component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
The Plug-in component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 does not properly handle trace requests, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.
The Security component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15, when a J2EE 1.4 application is used, determines the security role mapping on the basis of the ibm-application-bnd.xml file instead of the intended ibm-application-bnd.xmi file, which might allow remote authenticated users to gain privileges in opportunistic circumstances by requesting a service.
