Fujitsu-Siemens WebTransactions Command Injection Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

With <http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/> WebTransactions openSEAS provides

provides all possibilities to prepare existing host applications for new
web based scenarios. Host applications and data can be used via Standard

browser.
