DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities, security issues, and a weakness have been
reported in various BEA WebLogic products, which can be exploited by
malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks, and by malicious
people to conduct session fixation, cross-site scripting, or brute
force attacks, disclose sensitive information, or to bypass certain
security restrictions.

1) An error in the processing of requests within the
"HttpClusterServlet" and "HttpProxyServlet" proxy servlets, when
configured with the "SecureProxy" parameter, can potentially be
exploited to gain access to certain administrative resources that are
only accessible to an administrator.

This is related to vulnerability #2 in:

platforms
* WebLogic Server 6.1 released through Service Pack 7, on all
platforms


2) Input to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

This is related to vulnerability #6 in:
SA15486

The vulnerability is reported in the following versions of WebLogic
Server and WebLogic Express:

3) A weakness is caused due to an error in the account lockout, which
can be exploited to perform brute force attacks.

The weakness is reported in the following version of WebLogic Server
and WebLogic Express:
* WebLogic Server 10.0 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 2, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.1 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.0 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 8.1 released through Service Pack 6, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 7.0 released through Service Pack 7, on all
platforms

4) An error exists in the handling of sessions and can be exploited
to hijack a user's session by tricking the user into logging in after
following a specially crafted link.

Successful exploitation requires access to the server's console login
page.

The vulnerability is reported in the following version of WebLogic
Server and WebLogic Express:
* WebLogic Server 10.0, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 8.1 Service Pack 4 through Service Pack 6, on all
platforms

5) Unspecified input passed to the WebLogic Server Administration
Console is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an
administrative user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is reported in the following version of WebLogic
Server and WebLogic Express:
* WebLogic Server 10.0, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.1 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.0 on all platforms

6) An unspecified error in the distributed queue feature can be
exploited to bypass the security policies defined on a protected
distributed queue.

The vulnerability is reported in the following version of WebLogic
Server and WebLogic Express:
* WebLogic Server 10 with no maintenance packs, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.1 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.0 on all platforms

7) An unspecified error can be exploited to receive messages from a
standalone (physical) JMS Topic destination or a member of a secured
Distributed Topic member destination.

The vulnerability is reported in the following version of WebLogic
Server and WebLogic Express:
* WebLogic Server 10 with no maintenance packs, on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.1 on all platforms
* WebLogic Server 9.0 on all platforms

8) A security issue in the handling of content portlets can result in
users gaining access to content portlets that are restricted.

9) An error in the handling of https sessions in the Portal
Administration Console can lead to redirects via http.

The security issues are reported in the following version of WebLogic
Portal:
* WebLogic Portal 10.0, on all platforms
* WebLogic Portal 9.2 released through Maintenance Pack 1, on all
platforms

10) An unspecified error in the processing of HTML request headers
