Abstract
If you have installed an interim fix for PM44303, Websphere Application Server

there is the potential for an authenticated user to gain unauthorized access to
resources.
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
DESCRIPTION:
The Web Administration component of Tivoli Directory Server (TDS) uses
Websphere Application Server to provide Administrative services as a Websphere
Enterprise Application.
If you have installed an Interim Fix for Websphere Application Server APAR
PM44303, Websphere Application Server 6.1.0.43, Websphere Application Server
7.1.0 Fixpack 21 or Fixpack 23 which includes APAR PM44303, you have the
potential for an authenticated user on the network to bypass security
restrictions, caused by an error when validating user credentials. This access
requires a medium level of complexity. This could allow a user to gain
unauthorized administrative access to an application and potentially gain
access to confidential and critical customer data.
This could allow the user to modify the configuration of the TDS server causing
the server to work incorrectly. The user could also stop or uninstall the TDS
Admin console causing a denial of service for the TDS clients. Lastly the user
could modify the TDS Administrator password allowing access to the TDS Admin
console and TDS information.
