TITLE:
IBM WebSphere Application Server Denial of Service

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA12013

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12013/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/2614/

DESCRIPTION:
Leandro Meiners has reported a vulnerability in IBM WebSphere,
allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.

The problem is that the Caching Proxy component fails to handle
incomplete "GET" requests, if the "JunctionRewrite" and "UseCookie"
directives are active. Reportedly, successful exploitation may cause
a Denial of Service condition.

The vulnerability has been reported in WebSphere Edge Components
Caching Proxy 5.02.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly, this will be fixed in WebSphere Application Server
5.0.3.

Patches are available for certain customers.
