Title: Oracle Database Server InterMedia Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

There is a denial of service vulnerability in Oracle Database Server. This issue is a result of a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

When trying to load a specially constructed file, a denial of service can be triggered making the Oracle server process consume 100% CPU usage. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by supplying a specially constructed file to an application that uses the vulnerable objects to process the file in the database server.

This issue affects the Intermedia component and requires SQL (Oracle Net) access. A successful attack can compromise the availability of a vulnerable server.

Oracle has released a Critical Patch Update to address this issue.

It should be noted that this issue was previously reported in BID 13139 (Oracle Multiple Vulnerabilities); it has been assigned its own BID.
