There is an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability in the Apache Standard Taglibs that affects IBM WebSphere Application Server. There is an information disclosure vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty for any users of the JAX-RS API. There is a potential for weaker than expected security when using the WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile API Discovery feature and Swagger documents. There is a potential information disclosure vulnerability in Admin Center for IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty. There is a potential HTTP response splitting vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Application Server. OpenSSL vulnerabilities were disclosed on May 3, 2016 by the OpenSSL Project.
CVEID: CVE-2015-0254**
DESCRIPTION:** Apache Standard Taglibs could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing XML data. By sending specially-crafted XML data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVEID: CVE-2016-0359**
DESCRIPTION:** IBM WebSphere Application Server is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using specially-crafted URL to cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning, cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.

CVEID: CVE-2016-2107**
DESCRIPTION:** OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support AES-NI. A remote user with the ability to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack could exploit this vulnerability via the POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) attack to decrypt traffic.

All vulnerabilities affect the following versions and releases of IBM WebSphere Application Server:
To patch an existing service instance requires two steps:
1. To update WebSphere Application Server refer to the IBM WebSphere Application Server bulletins:
Security Bulletin: Information disclosure in WebSphere Application Server Liberty (CVE-2016-2923)
Security Bulletin: HTTP Response Splitting in WebSphere Application Server (CVE-2016-0359)
2. To apply the RHEL OS updates, run yum update.
When creating a new service instance, the following maintenance must be manually applied to an IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5 Full Profile:
Security Bulletin: HTTP Response Splitting in WebSphere Application Server (CVE-2016-0359)
All other maintenance is included in the new service instance.
