DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in IBM WebSphere Application Server,

certain data or disclose certain information.

The weakness is caused due to the iscdeploy script setting insecure

$WAS_HOME/bin/client_ffdc directories, which can be exploited to
modify or read the files.

The weakness is reported in versions 6.1, 7.0, and 8.0 running on IBM
i series.
