It is possible to trigger an overflow in iPlanet by submitting a malformed 'Host:' header field in an HTTP request. It has been demonstrated that this may cause the server to return sensitive information from memory in the 'Location:' header field of the HTTP response. This may also be used to corrupt memory with attacker-supplied data which may result in execution of malicious code, though this possibility has not been confirmed. Denial of service may also be possible under some circumstances.
