A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in BEA WebLogic Server up to 7.0.0.1 (Application Server Software). This affects an unknown function of the component In-Memory Session Replication Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Race condition in BEA WebLogic Server and Express 5.1 through 7.0.0.1, when using in-memory session replication or replicated stateful session beans, causes the same buffer to be provided to two users, which could allow one user to see session data that was intended for another user.

The weakness was disclosed 12/31/2003 with BEA Systems (Website). The advisory is shared at dev.bea.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2003-1438 since 10/22/2007.
