1. Impact
If the Sun Java System Proxy Server is used in conjunction with the
Sun Java System Application Server or the Sun Java System Web Server
then it may be susceptible to "HTTP Request Smuggling" (HRS) which can
allow remote unprivileged users to be able to poison web caches,
hijack sessions, perform cross-site scripting (CSS or XSS) attacks or
bypass web application firewall protection. Further information about
HRS can be found at
https://www.watchfire.com/securearea/whitepapers.aspx?id=12.

$ <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).
To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Server on a system,
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
(Where <PS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Proxy
Server).
