Abstract:  Potential information disclosure in WebSphere Application Server.

Description/symptom of problem:  
PI67093 resolves the following problem:


        Potential information disclosure in WebSphere Application Server.



Directions to apply fix:  
        1. Open a console and direct it to the location of your iFix jar
        2. Run the command "java -jar 8559-wlp-archive-IFPI67093.jar". The following launch options
        are available for the jar:

        --installLocation [LibertyRootDir] by default the jar will look for a "wlp" directory
        in its current location. If your Liberty profile install
        location is different to "wlp" and/or is not in the same
        directory as the jar then you can use this option to change
        where the jar will patch. [LibertyRootDir] can either be
        relative to the location of the jar or an absolute file path.

        --suppressInfo hides all messages other than confirming the
        patch has completed or error messages.

        3. Stop your Liberty profile server(s).
        4. When you next start your Liberty profile server(s), the fix will become active in your runtime.



Directions to remove fix:  
        1. Stop your Liberty profile server(s).
        2. You will need to delete the following files (file locations are
        relative to your Liberty profile install root):

         - lib/com.ibm.ws.webcontainer_1.1.12.cl50920160830-1724.jar
         - lib/fixes/8559-wlp-archive-IFPI67093_8.5.500920160830_1724.xml
         - lib/fixes/8559-wlp-archive-IFPI67093_8.5.500920160830_1724.lpmf

        3. When you next start your Liberty profile server(s), the fix will become inactive in your runtime.
