1. Impact
Sun Java System Application Server, Web Server and Proxy Server make
use of the Network Security Services (NSS) library and are impacted by
a number of security vulnerabilities related to the SSL2
implementation in that library if SSL2 is enabled in these servers.
These vulnerabilities may allow remote users to cause the server to
exit unexpectedly, causing a denial of service (DoS) to the
application, or to execute arbitrary code.
These issues are also described in the following documents:
* CVE-2007-0008 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0008
* CVE-2007-0009 at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0009
* CERT VU#377812 at: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/377812
* CERT VU#592796 at: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/592796
Other Sun products make use of the NSS library. For information
regarding the impact to other products, please see Sun Alert 102856

To determine the version of Sun Java System Application Server on a
system, the following command can be run:
$ <AS_INSTALL>/bin/asadmin version --verbose
(Where <AS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Application Server
)
To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Server on a system,
the following command can be run:
$ <WS-install>/https-<host>/start -version
(Where <WS-install> is the installation directory of the Web Server and <ho
st> should be the actual host name on which the Web Server is installed)
To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Proxy Server on a
system, the following command can be run:
$ <PS_INSTALL>/bin/ns-proxy -v
(Where <PS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Web Proxy Server)
Note: SSL v2 is disabled by default in the Sun Java System Application
Server, Sun Java System Web Server, and Sun Java System Web Proxy
Server.
3. Symptoms
There are no reliable symptoms that would indicate the described
issues have been exploited.
4. Relief/Workaround
In order to work around these issues in products which use the NSS
library, SSL v2 can be disabled. For example if SSL v2 has been
enabled in the Sun Java System Application Server, Sun Java System Web
Server, or Sun Java System Web Proxy Server then it can be disabled
until patches can be applied.
The exact procedure to disable SSL v2 for each of these Sun Java
System products varies. See the respective product documentation at
http://docs.sun.com for further details.
