Sun Java System Application Server and Sun Java System Web Server XSLT stylesheets code execution
| javasystem-xsltstylesheets-code-execution (35335) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Application Server and Sun Java System Web Server could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a vulnerability in the Java XML Digital Signature implementation. By sending a specially-crafted XML signature containing a malicious XSLT stylesheet, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary Java code on the system with the application's permissions.
