TITLE:
IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37221

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37221/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS, which can be exploited by malicious people to
potentially disclose sensitive information, conduct cross-site
request forgery attacks, or cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 

1) Some vulnerabilities in APR-util can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

For more information:
SA35284

2) An unspecified error in the "Apr_xml_*" interface can be exploited
to cause a DoS.

3) The administrative console allows users to perform certain actions
via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to perform normally restricted actions
if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

4) An error in the included web server can be exploited to e.g. cause
a high CPU load via specially crafted HTTP requests.

For more information:
SA35781

The vulnerabilities are reported in WebSphere Application Server
version 7.0 for z/OS. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Apply APARs PK99478, PK99477, and PK99480.
