Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V8.0 and V8.5                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Insufficient processing of multi-byte   *
*                      characters, such as cyrillic Russian    *
*                      characters, during serialization        *
*                      caused the error.                       *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
During the serialization of multi-byte data, incorrect logic
was applied that led to an index that was outside the
boundaries of the byte array.

Problem conclusion

The serialization algorithm has now been updated to include
sufficient processing so that array accesses are within
boundaries.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1.
