DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Rational AppScan, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) An unspecified error in the import functionality can be exploited
via a specially crafted ZIP file.
NOTE: This only affects the Enterprise and Reporting Console
editions.
2) An unspecified error in the load file functionality can be
exploited via a specially crafted SCAN file.
NOTE: This only affects the Standard and Express editions.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution
of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into opening a
malicious file.
Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.
SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version.
