Summary

The WebSphere Edge Component Caching Proxy in IBM WebSphere Edge Server version 5.02 is susceptible to a Denial of Service vulnerability. When the JunctionRewrite directive is enabled, an attacker can exploit this weakness by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request, which does not require any parameters. This can lead to service disruption, making the web application unavailable to legitimate users.
