IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 9.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with a specially crafted sequence of serialized objects.

Remedy

For IBM WebSphere Application Server traditional: For V9.0.0.0 through 9.0.5.24: · Upgrade to minimal fix pack levels as required by the interim fix and then apply the Interim Fix that resolves PH66674 --OR-- · Apply Fix Pack 9.0.5.25 or later (targeted availability 3Q2025). For V8.5.0.0 through 8.5.5.27: · Upgrade to minimal fix pack levels as required by the interim fix and then apply the Interim Fix that resolves PH66674 --OR-- · Apply Fix Pack 8.5.5.28 or later (targeted availability 3Q2025). Additional interim fixes may be available and linked off the interim fix download page.
