Description:
Sun has acknowledged a problem in Sun Java System Application Server, which potentially can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks against users.
The problem is that Sun Java System Application Server by default responds to HTTP TRACE requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when combined with certain other vulnerabilities.
The problem affects the following versions:
* Sun Java System Application Server Standard Edition 7 and later updates
* Sun Java System Application Server Standard Edition 7 2004Q2 and later updates
* Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 7 and later updates
Solution:
Disable HTTP TRACE support, if this is considered a problem.
