· Version 8.5
REMEDIATION: The recommended solution is to apply the Fix Pack or PTF for each named product as soon as practical
Fix:
Apply a Fix Pack or PTF containing this APAR PM86245, as noted below:
For IBM WebSphere Application Server

CVE ID: CVE-2013-1768 (PM86780, PM86786, PM86788 and PM86791)
DESCRIPTION: Deserialization of a maliciously crafted OpenJPA object can result in an executable file being writent to the file system. An attacker needs to discover an unprotected server program to exploit this vulnerability. It then needs to exploit another unprotected server program to execute the file and gain access to the system. OpenJPA usage by itself does not introduce the vulnerability. The OpenJPA code ships with the WebSphere Application Server but WebSphere Application Server is NOT vulnerable to this issue.
CVSS:
CVSS Base Score:10
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/82268 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS String: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

· Version 7.0.0.0 through 7.0.0.27
· OSGi Applications and JPA Feature Pack Version 1.0.0.1 through 1.0.0.9
· EJB 3.0 Feature Pack Version 6.1.0.15 through 6.1.0.45
