A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Netscape Network
Security Services (NSS) library suite that is a security component
used by most of the Sun Java Enterprise System (JES) components such
as Web Server, App Server and Portal Server. This vulnerability may
allow a remote unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable systems during SSLv2 connection negotiation. This issue is
described in the Internet Security Systems Advisory at
