Date: 29th May 2002

Severity: High Risk


Macromedia's JRun, previously owned by Allaire, is a J2EE Server designed to
run on web servers to deliver java based online applications. The Win32
version 3.1 contains a remotely exploitable buffer overrun vulnerability
that allows an attacker to gain complete control of the server in question.

A check for this issue has been added to Typhon II, NGSSoftware's
vulnerability assessment scanner, of which more information is available
from the NGSSite : http://www.ngssoftware.com/.
