1. Impact
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in parsing the "Help" and
"Version" Windows of the Sun Java System Access Manager Administration
Console may allow local and remote unprivileged users to access
unauthorized data.

application.
Sun acknowledges with thanks, Steven Adair of NASA for discovering and
reporting this issue.
