PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server using Security Auditing

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
After applying 9.0.0.7,
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is

This issue is introduced by PI86770 that went into WebSphere
9.0.0.7. The APAR collapsed one of internal audit event
tables to only contain supported events without updating other
code area that refers to the table.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The exception was fixed.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 9.0.0.8. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
page for delivery information:
