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 hide HTTP requests from the log-preview functionality by accompanying the requests with crafted DNS responses specifying a domain name beginning with a "format=" substring, related to an "Inverse Lookup Log Corruption (ILLC)" issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server logging integrity issue. If reverse DNS resolution is enabled, an attacker can make certain HTTP requests disappear from the server’s log-preview view. The issue does not directly describe code execution or data theft, but it can weaken investigation, monitoring, and audit confidence. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server with reverse DNS lookup enabled for client IP logging. Modern stacks are unlikely to be affected unless they retain these old versions or inherited logging behavior. Treat this as a moderate priority if legacy Sun ONE/iPlanet servers remain in use. The business risk is degraded auditability: incidents could be harder to detect or reconstruct. If no such legacy servers exist, priority is low after inventory confirmation. Mitigation focus: Identify any Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server deployments and versions.; Disable client IP DNS resolution where operationally acceptable.; Check Sun/Oracle advisory 201453 or vendor support for upgrade guidance..
