DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server
and Java System Application Server, which can be exploited by
malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and
compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when handling exceptions
in the Web Administration component. This can be exploited to bypass
the authentication mechanism via specially crafted HTTP GET requests
sent to TCP port 4848.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products:
* Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 and 2.1.1
* Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 3.0.1
* Sun Java System Application Server 9.1
