The Web Server Plug-in in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 8.0 and earlier uses unencrypted HTTP communication after expiration of the plugin-key.kdb password, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network, or spoof arbitrary servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the Integrated Solutions Console (aka administrative console) in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0.0.13 and earlier allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that disable certain security options via an Edit action to console/adminSecurityDetail.do followed by a save action to console/syncworkspace.do.

The Service Integration Bus (SIB) messaging engine in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) by performing close operations via network connections to a queue manager.

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.

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.

Memory leak in the messaging engine in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via network connections associated with a NULL return value from a synchronous JMS receive call.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Proxy in the HTTP Transport component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) before 7.0.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker thread exhaustion and UDP messaging outage) by sending many UDP 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.
