Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web application server is affected by multiple flaws.

Description :

The remote host is running JRun, a J2EE application server running on
top of IIS or Apache. There are multiple flaws in the remote version
of this software :

- The JSESSIONID variable is not implemented securely. A possible hacker may
use this flaw to guess the session id number of other users. Only
JRun 4.0 is affected.

- There is a code disclosure issue which may permit a possible hacker to obtain
the contents of a .cfm file by appending '
.cfm' to the file name.
Only the Microsoft IIS connector and JRun 4.0 are affected.

- There is a buffer overflow vulnerability if the server connector is
configured in 'verbose' mode. A possible hacker may exploit this flaw to
execute arbitrary code on the remote host.
