Description
The Servlet Engine/Web Container component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.0.2 before 6.0.2.37 does not properly implement security constraints on the (1) doGet and (2) doTrace methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTTP HEAD request to a Web Application.
