DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in SAP NetWeaver, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the "action" parameter to testsdic and via the
"helpstring" parameter to paramhelp.jsp in the System Landscape
Directory component 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.

SOLUTION:
Patches are available via SAP note 1416047.
