OVERVIEW:
        
        BEA Systems have released multiple advisories describing 
        vulnerabilities in and updates for BEA WebLogic, WebLogic Express
        and JRockit. 


IMPACT: 

        According to the BEA Systems advisories [1] the following 
        vulnerabilities affect only WebLogic Server and have the following 
        impacts:

         o BEA07-134.00 (CVE-2007-4613): This vulnerability may allow the 
           decryption of SSL streams. To exploit this vulnerability, an 
           attacker would require access to multiple streams which contain 
           the same plain text block and the ability to inject their own 
           ciphertext blocks into the connection.

         o BEA07-149.00 (CVE-2007-4614): This vulnerability may result in
           security policy updates not being correctly applied to managed 
           servers.

        Note that the two advisories mentioned were released in January 
        2007, however, CVE Names have just been allocated and are included 
        in this advisory for completeness.

        The following vulnerabilities affect both WebLogic Server and 
        WebLogic Express:

         o BEA07-175.00 (CVE-2007-4615): This vulnerability may result in 
           clients not being able to correctly determine cipher suites, and 
           fall-back to unencrypted communication.

         o BEA07-176.00 (CVE-2007-4616): This vulnerability may result in
           a server falling back to a null SSL cipher (unencrypted 
           communication) if the client does not offer any supported cipher 
           suites.

         o BEA07-87.02 (CVE-2007-4617): This vulnerability may allow a 
           malicious client to cause a denial of service of server threads.

         o BEA07-148.01 (CVE-2007-4618): This vulnerability may allow 
           malicious clients sending malformed requests to cause a large
           growth in the log file.

        The following vulnerabilities affect JRockit:

         o BEA07-177.00 (CVE-2007-2789, CVE-2007-2788, CVE-2007-3922): This
           advisory describes a new release of JRockit which corrects 
           multiple JRE/JDK vulnerabilities, details of which can be found 
           on the AusCERT web site [2][3][4][5].

         o BEA07-178.00 (CVE-2007-3698): This vulnerability may allow remote 
           attackers to cause a DoS in the Java Secure Socket Extension 
          (JSSE) by sending specially crafted SSL/TLS handshake requests [6].


MITIGATION:

        Patches are available for all of the above mentioned 
        vulnerabilities. Please see the relevant BEA advisory for 
        location of software patches and updates.
