CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
AFFECTED PLATFORMS: The following IBM WebSphere Application Server for
distributed operating systems, IBM i operating systems, and z/OS operating
system Versions are affected:
Version 8
Version 7
Version 6.1
REMEDIATION: The recommended solution is to apply the Fix Pack or PTF for each
named product as soon as practical
Fix:
