BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 through SP4, 7.0 through SP6, and 6.1 through SP7, when a Java client application creates an SSL connection to the server after it has already created an insecure connection, will use the insecure connection, which allows remote attackers to sniff the connection.
