Errata:
This is a correction of our previous disclosure email from September 23rd, 2015.
Our previous posting implied that the security vulnerability we discovered was in the "BIRT Engine" servlet itself.
This is NOT the case, but rather the vulnerability is in how the "BIRT Engine" was configured when embedded within the Remedy AR Reporting engine.
