Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM Websphere version 4.0.3

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a crash, and may also enable the execution of arbitrary code. This can be achieved by sending an HTTP request with long HTTP headers, such as the "Host" header.

Recommendations: For IBM Websphere version 4.0.3, consider restricting the length of HTTP headers to prevent exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the size of incoming HTTP requests may help mitigate the risk.
