        AusCERT Advisory Summary
        ------------------------

Product:              Novell Access Manager Identity Server 3.0.0 build 1012 and prior
Operating System:     Linux variants
Impact:               Cross-site Scripting
Access:               Remote/Unauthenticated
Member content until: Tuesday, February 06 2007


OVERVIEW:

	The login web page on the Novell Access Manager Identity Server 
	contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability, displaying 
	user-supplied content from URLs of the form:

	http://host/nidp/idff/sso?RequestID=1234&IssueInstant=<scripting content>


IMPACT:

	A remote attacker may execute arbitrary JavaScript in a legitimate 
	user's browser in the context of the Identity Server site.

	This potentially allows the attacker to steal Identity Server
	authentication credentials.


MITIGATION:

	Identity Server builds 3.0.0-1013 shipped with Access Manager SP1 IR1 
	resolve this issue. Novell state the patch will also be included in 
	Access Manager 3 SP1.
