Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat, Apache Commons FileUpload and Apache Axis might affect IBM Storage Copy Data Management

Summary

IBM Storage Copy Data Management can be affected by vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat, Apache Commons FileUpload, and Apache Axis. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service condition, to obtain a session cookie, sensitive and Http11Processor instance information and use this informations to launch further attacks against the affected system, to conduct XSS attacks, to conduct SSRF attack, using a specially crafted URL to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites, to continue to use the socket after it has been closed, to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop, and to obtain sensitive information leaking from the current request/response to the next, as described by the CVEs in the “Vulnerability Details” section.

Vulnerability Details
