GeoServer Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Summary
This host is installed with GeoServer and is prone to Memory Corruption vulnerability.
Impact
Successful attacks may lead to failure to report service exception if the code encoding the output calls flush() before having written the full contents to the output. Impact Level: Application
Solution
Upgrade to version 1.6.1 or 1.7.0-beta1 or later. http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Download
Insight
Error exists when PartialBufferOutputStream2 flushes the buffer contents even when it is handling an 'in memory buffer', which prevents the reporting of a service exception, with unknown impact and attack vectors.
Affected
GeoServer version before 1.6.1 and 1.7.0-beta1.
