Sun ONE (aka iPlanet) Web Server 4.1 through SP12 and 6.0 through SP5, when DNS resolution is enabled for client IP addresses, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary text into log files, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks involving the iPlanet Log Analyzer, via an HTTP request in conjunction with a crafted DNS response, related to an "Inverse Lookup Log Corruption (ILLC)" issue, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1315 and CVE-2002-1316.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server issue where reverse DNS lookups can let an attacker poison logs and trigger XSS in iPlanet Log Analyzer. Business risk is concentrated in old, still-running installations with DNS resolution enabled and staff viewing affected logs. Exposure appears limited to legacy Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server deployments matching the listed versions, with reverse DNS resolution for client IPs enabled. Internet-facing servers and environments where administrators use iPlanet Log Analyzer have the clearest risk. Treat this as a targeted legacy-platform hygiene issue, not a broad emergency. Prioritize if the affected server is internet-facing, still business-critical, or used with Log Analyzer by administrators. Mitigation focus: Check Sun vendor advisory 201453 for official remediation guidance.; Disable client IP DNS resolution if it is not operationally required.; Restrict access to iPlanet Log Analyzer to trusted administrators..
