Summary
The Dojo Toolkit components used by IBM MessageSight are subject to cross-site
scripting vulnerability.
Vulnerability Details
CVE ID: CVE-2014-8917
The IBM Dojo Toolkit is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper
validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this

Summary
GNU C library (glibc) vulnerability that has been referred to as GHOST
affects IBM MessageSight.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2015-0235
DESCRIPTION:The gethostbyname functions of the GNU C Library (glibc) are
vulnerable to a buffer overflow. By sending a specially crafted, but
valid hostname argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and
execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the targeted
process or cause the process to crash. The impact of an attack depends on
the implementation details of the targeted application or operating system.
This issue is being referred to as the "Ghost" vulnerability.
