TITLE:
Sun Java System Delegated Administrator "HELP_PAGE" HTTP Response
Splitting

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34760

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34760/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sun Java System Delegated
Administrator, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
HTTP response splitting attacks.

Input passed to the "HELP_PAGE" parameter in /da/DA/Login is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP headers, which are included in a
response sent to the user. This allows arbitrary HTML and script code
to be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

The vulnerability is reported in Sun Java System Delegated
Administrator version 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 for the SPARC, x86, and Linux
platform.

SOLUTION:
Update to Sun Java System Delegated Administrator version 6.4 and
apply the patches.

-- SPARC Platform --

Apply patch 121581-20 or later.

-- x86 Platform --

Apply patch 121582-20 or later.

-- Linux Platform --

Apply patch 121583-20 or later.
