Impact
If the Sun Java System Proxy Server is used in conjunction with the Sun Java System Application Server or the Sun Java System Web Server then it may be susceptible to "HTTP Request Smuggling" (HRS) which can allow remote unprivileged users to be able to poison web caches, hijack sessions, perform cross-site scripting (CSS or XSS) attacks or bypass web application firewall protection. Further information about HRS can be found at https://www.watchfire.com/securearea/whitepapers.aspx?id=12.
