Overview

Several vulnerabilities exist in the Oracle Database Server,
Application Server, and Enterprise Manager software. The most serious
vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code on an affected system. Oracle's Collaboration Suite and
E-Business Suite 11i contain the vulnerable software and are affected
as well.

I. Description

Several vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle's Database
Server, Application Server, and Enterprise Manager software. According
to reports, several buffer overflow, format string, SQL injection and
other types of vulnerabilities were discovered and reported to Oracle.

Oracle has released Oracle Security Alert #68 (pdf) to address these
vulnerabilities. We are tracking them as follows:

VU#170830 - Oracle Enterprise Manager contains several
vulnerabilities

VU#316206 - Oracle Database Server contains several vulnerabilities

VU#435974 - Oracle Application Server contains several
vulnerabilities

As more information becomes available, we will update these
vulnerability notes as appropriate.

II. Impact

The impacts of the vulnerabilities described above are unclear.

According to credible reports, the impacts of these vulnerabilities
range from the remote unauthenticated execution arbitrary code to data
corruption or leakage.

III. Solution

Apply a patch or upgrade

Apply the appropriate patch or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
Security Alert #68 (pdf).

Organizations that use Oracle's Collaboration Suite or E-Business
Suite 11i should see Oracle Security Alert #68 (pdf) for remediation
instructions.
