Sun Java System Access Manager container-based security bypass
| sun-jsam-container-security-bypass (36846) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Access Manager could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error when using container-based authentication. If Sun Java System Access Manager is installed in a version 9.1 container and the container is restarted, the system will not require authenticated after the restart. This could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to administrative applications.
