    CVEID: CVE-2016-0400
    DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Extreme Scale is vulnerable to HTTP
    response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of
    user-supplied input when processing malicious requests. A
    remote
    attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary
    HTTP headers containing unicode charactesr and cause the server
    to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would
    allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web
    cache
    poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain
    sensitive
    information.
    CVSS Base Score: 6.1
    CVSS Temporal Score: See
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112655 for
    the current score
    CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
