A vulnerability has been identified in IBM WebSphere Portal, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP response splitting attacks.  Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP headers, which will be included in a response sent to the user.  Successful exploitation requires that home substitution is enabled (disabled by default).
