Title: Oracle Internet Directory 2.0.6 oidldap Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Oracle Internet Directory 2.0.6 is a pre-alpha development release, available as both an addon package and in the Oracle Database Software release 8.1.6. A vulnerability has been found in the oidldap binary within the package.
A buffer overflow exists in the oidldap binary, which is setuid oracle. When executed on the command line, the oidldap binary performs an unsafe check of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. It is possible for a malicous user to execute shell code through the ORACLE_HOME environment variable, allowing the user to inherit an euid of oracle. In a stock installation of Oracle 8.1.6, this could create a scenario which would allow a local user to compromise the integrity of a database.
Affected Products:
- Oracle Internet Directory 2.0.6.0.0
- Oracle Internet Directory 2.1.1.0.0
- Oracle Oracle8i Standard Edition 8.1.6
- RedHat Linux 6.1.0 i386
- RedHat Linux 6.2.0 i386
