Description:
Some vulnerabilities and security issues have been reported in BEA Weblogic, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain access to sensitive information or to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) Security issues exist when a client or a server lacks the support for any of the offered SSL ciphers. This can be exploited to leave sensitive information transmitted in the SSL session in "clear text" by using a null cipher suite.

The security issues are reported in the following versions:
* WebLogic Server 10.0 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 2, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.1 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.0 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 8.1 released through Service Pack 6, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 7.0 released through Service Pack 7, on all platforms

2) An unspecified error when processing malformed headers can be exploited to cause a DoS by sending specially crafted headers to the affected server.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* WebLogic Server 7.0 released through Service Pack 7, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 6.1 released through Service Pack 7, on all platforms


3) An unspecified error exists in the processing of client requests. This can be exploited to hang server threads by performing unspecified malicious actions.

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* WebLogic Server 8.1 released through Service Pack 4, on all platforms.
* WebLogic Server 7.0 released through Service Pack 7, on all platforms.
