A security vulnerability in various releases of Sun Java System Application Server may allow source code exposure of JSPs on the Windows platform. This would allow unauthorized remote users the ability to view critical source code.

This issue can occur in the following releases:

Windows Platform

• Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 without file-based patch 119172-18 or package-based patch 122848-11
• Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 without file-based patch 119176-18
• Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 without file-based patch 124678-02 or package-based patch 124684-03
• Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 without file-based patch 124682-02
• Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0 without file-based patch 124612-05 

Note 1: This issue only affects the listed products on the Windows platform.

Note 2: There are Sun Java System Application Server patches for non-Windows platforms which reference this bugID, 6569427, since the code changes were applied to all platforms even though only the Windows platform is affected.

There are no reliable symptoms that would indicate the described issues have been exploited, other than the source code of the JSPs being exposed.

There is no workaround. Please see the "Resolution" section below.
