DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in IBM WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass
certain security restrictions.

configured with a Local OS user registry or a Federated Repository
configured with RACF (Resource Access Control Facility) adapter.

The security issue is reported in the following versions:
* WebSphere Application Server for z/OS versions 6.0 through
6.0.2.43, 6.1 through 6.1.0.35, and 7.0 through 7.0.0.15.
* WebSphere Application Server OEM for z/OS (FMID HBBN610) versions
