   To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 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 <host> should be the actual host name on which the Web Server is
   installed).
   To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 on a
   system, the following command can be run:
    $ <WS-install>/bin/wadm --version

   (Where <WS-install> is the installation directory of the Web Server).

   3. Symptoms:

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
   issue has been exploited.

   4. Workaround

   To work around the described issue, edit the default search web
