Sun Java System Active Server Pages ASP server buffer overflow
| sunjavasystem-asp-server-bo (42830) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Active Server Pages is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the request handling code within the ASP server. By sending a specially-crafted request to TCP port 80, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the ASP server.
