Description: A vulnerability was reported in Sun Java System Web Proxy Server. A remote user may be able to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks.
If the Sun Java System Web Server is used in conjunction with the Sun Java System Web Proxy Server and if there is an input validation
vulnerability in the web server or one of its applications, then a remote user can use HTTP request smuggling techniques to hijack
a target user's request or conduct a variation of a cross-site scripting attack against a target user.
A remote user can send
multiple HTTP requests with specially crafted HTTP headers to the target server via the proxy/gateway server. The requests may
be interpreted differently by the target server than by the proxy/gateway server. As a result, unexpected results may occur. A
remote user may be able to poison an intermediate cache, bypass application-level security features within an intermediate proxy/gateway
server, or conduct cross-site scripting attacks against target users.
|
Impact: A remote user may be able to poison an intermediate cache, bypass application-level security features within an intermediate proxy/gateway server, or conduct cross-site scripting attacks against target users.
