Description:
Sun has acknowledged a vulnerability in various Sun Java System Server products, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error within the handling of HTTP requests when using Sun Java System Proxy Server in conjunction with the Sun Java System Web Server or the Sun Java System Application Server.

Successful exploitation allows poisoning of the web proxy cache, bypass of certain web application firewall protections, or cross-site scripting attacks.
