Description:
BEA has confirmed a problem in WebLogic Server and Express, which potentially can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks against users.

The problem is that WebLogic Server by default responds to HTTP TRACE requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when combined with certain browser vulnerabilities.

The problem affects the following versions on all platforms:

* WebLogic Server and Express 8.1, released through Service Pack 2
* WebLogic Server and Express 7.0, released through Service Pack 4
* WebLogic Server and Express 6.1, released through Service Pack 6
* WebLogic Server and Express 5.1, released through Service Pack 13

Solution:
Apply patches.

WebLogic Server and Express 8.1 (requires SP2):

WebLogic Server and Express 7.0 (requires SP4):
