Sun(sm) Alert Notification
* Sun Alert ID: 102012
* Synopsis: Security Vulnerability With Sun Java System Application
Server Reverse SSL Proxy Plugin
* Category: Security
* Product: Sun Java System Application Server Standard Edition 7
2004Q2, Sun ONE Application Server 7, Standard Edition, Sun Java
System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q1
* BugIDs: 6210327
* Avoidance: Patch, Upgrade
* State: Resolved
* Date Released: 05-Dec-2005

1. Impact
A security vulnerability exists in the Proxy Plug-in for certain Sun
ONE and Java System Application Server products when the plug-in is
used with a supported web server, such as Sun Java System Web Server,
Apache Web Server or Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). This
vulnerability may allow a "Man-in-the-Middle" condition to be
exploited and possibly compromise data privacy between the client and
the server.
Note: Though not impossible, it will be difficult to carry out this
exploit from outside the firewall in front of the web server.
