Two vulnerabilities have been identified in IBM Tivoli Netcool/Webtop, which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security restrictions.

The first issue is caused by an error when a user has logged into webtop as root and then logs out and back into webtop without closing the browser and logs in under a user with read only privileges, which allow the user to have root privileges.

The second vulnerability is caused by an error in Tomcat. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2008-0488
