Descriptions

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. When application security is disabled and JAX-RPC applications are present, an attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary xml files on the system. This does not occur if Application security is enabled. IBM X-Force ID: 193556.

IBM WebSphere Application Server versiones 7.0, 8.0, 8.5 y 9.0, podría permitir a un atacante remoto saltos de directorios en el sistema. Cuando una seguridad de la aplicación está deshabilitada y unas aplicaciones JAX-RPC están presentes, un atacante podría enviar una petición de URL especialmente diseñada que contenga secuencias de "dot dot" (/../) para visualizar archivos xml arbitrarios en el sistema. Esto no ocurre si la seguridad de la aplicación está habilitada. IBM X-Force ID: 193556
