1. Impact

   Sun Java System Application Server, Sun Java System Proxy Server and
   Sun Java System Web Server are vulnerable to an RSA(1) Signature
   Verification vulnerability which may allow remote unprivileged users
   to construct certificates with forged signatures that go undetected
   and are accepted as valid.

   This issue is also described in the following documents:

    $ <AS_INSTALL>/bin/asadmin version --verbose
    Sun Java System Application Server 7 2004Q2UR3 (build A051525-273129)

   (Where <AS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Application
   Server).

   the following command can be run:
    $ <WS-install>/https-<host>/start -version

   (Where <WS-install> is top installation directory of Web Server and
   <host> should be the actual host name on which the Web Server is
   installed).

   To determine the version of Sun Java System Proxy Server on a system,
   the following command can be run:
    $ <PS_INSTALL>/bin/ns-proxy -v
    Sun ONE Web Proxy Server 3.6-SP9 B2006.191.1801 SP9

   (Where <PS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Proxy
   Server).
