AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: Hitachi Web server
Operating System: Linux variants
HP-UX
Windows
AIX
Impact/Access: Cross-site Scripting -- Remote/Unauthenticated
Denial of Service -- Remote/Unauthenticated
Resolution: Upgrade
Member content until: Wednesday, August 19 2009
OVERVIEW
Two vulnerabilities identified in Hitachi Web server have been
corrected by the vendor.
IMPACT
A cross site scripting vulnerability can be exploited when a Hitachi
Web Server automatically creates a server status page in response to
a request containing malicious scripts, potentially allowing for
those scripts to be executed on a client. [1]
An invalid response from a remote backend server may cause a Hitachi
Web Server to experience a denial of service if the system uses the
reverse proxy function. [2]
MITIGATION
The vendor recommends upgrading to the appropriate version. [1, 2]
