Description

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported for IBM WebSphere 4.0.3 running on a Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. IBM WebSphere does not properly perform bounds checking when receiving HTTP requests. Specifically, the vulnerability is related to the WebSphere plugin not limiting the size of HTTP POST data that would be received by the application server.
