The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw exists that is caused by improper recursion detection during entity expansion. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XML document, an attacker can cause the system to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
