IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x <= 7.0.0.45 / 8.0.0.x <= 8.0.0.15 / 8.5.x < 8.5.5.14 / 9.0.x < 9.0.0.8 Information Disclosure (CVE-2012-5783)

Description

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.x through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.x through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.14 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the Apache Commons HttpClient subcomponent due to the failure to verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to conduct spoofing attacks, by persuading a victim to visit a web site containing a specially-crafted certificate. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
