Overview
Various Oracle products and components are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities. The impacts of these vulnerabilities include
unauthenticated, remote code execution, information disclosure, and
denial of service.
I. Description
Oracle released a Critical Patch Update in July 2005 that addresses
more than forty vulnerabilities in different Oracle products and
components. The Critical Patch Update provides information about which
components are affected, what access and authorization are required,
and how data confidentiality, integrity, and availability may be
impacted. Public reports describe vulnerabilities related to insecure
password and temporary file handling and SQL injection.
US-CERT strongly recommends that sites running Oracle review the
Critical Patch Update, apply patches, and take other mitigating action
as appropriate.
Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP Server. Some Oracle
products include Java components from Sun Microsystems. According to
Oracle, the July 2005 Critical Patch Update addresses previously
disclosed vulnerabilities in Apache and Java. Oracle also notes that
Oracle Database Client-only installations are not affected by
vulnerabilities listed in the July 2005 Critical Patch Update.
US-CERT is tracking all of these issues under VU#613562. As further
information becomes available, we will publish individual
Vulnerability Notes.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary depending on product or
component and configuration. Potential consequences include remote
execution of arbitrary code or commands, information disclosure, and
denial of service. An attacker who compromises an Oracle database may
be able to gain access to sensitive information.
III. Solution
Apply a patch
Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
Critical Patch Update - July 2005. The update notes that some Oracle
patches are cumulative while others are not:
The Oracle Database Server, Enterprise Manager, and the Oracle
Application Server patches in the Updates are cumulative; each
successive Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the
previous Critical Patch Updates.
E-Business Suite patches are not cumulative, so E-Business Suite
customers should refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to
identify previous fixes they wish to apply.
Oracle Collaboration Suite patches are not cumulative, so Oracle
Collaboration Suite customers should refer to previous Critical
Patch Updates to identify previous fixes they wish to apply.
Workarounds
It may be possible to mitigate some vulnerabilities by disabling or
removing unnecessary components, restricting network access, and
restricting access to temporary files.
Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2005 suggests setting a TNS
listner password to mitigate a vulnerability in Oracle Database Server
(DB08).
