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

Product:              SAP Netweaver 6.4 to 7.0
Operating System:     Windows
                      UNIX variants (UNIX, Linux, OSX)

OVERVIEW

        A vulnerability in SAP Netweaver may allow a remote attacker to
        perform a persistent cross site scripting attack.[1]


IMPACT

        A successful attack against this vulnerability may allow a remote
        attacker to display arbitrary HTML or execute arbitrary script
        in a victim's browser in the context of the website being viewed.


MITIGATION

        Enabling "Secure Editing" in the portal effectively mitigates
        against this vulnerability. Netweaver 7.0 SP15 enables this
        option by default.
