Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in iPlanet Messaging Server / Sun ONE Messaging Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified input validation error and allows execution of arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site when a malicious e-mail is viewed.

Successful exploitation reportedly requires that Internet Explorer is used for viewing the malicious e-mail.
