Title: Oracle 9i Application Server Path Revealing Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Oracle 9i Application Server comes with an Apache-based web server and Java servlet engine.

A vulnerability exists that could allow a malicious user to view the full path to the web folder. If the malicious user were to send the Oracle 9i AS an HTTP request for a non-existant .jsp file, the server would return an error page containing path information to the web folder.

An HTTP request for

http://target.com/folder/java/unknown.jsp

would yield an error message containing a path similar to:

c:\oracle\ias\apache\apache\htdocs\target\folder\java\jsp\unknown.jsp

A similar vulnerability was found in Apache Tomcat 3.1 which may be related to this vulnerability. See BugTraq ID 1531 for details.

Affected Products:

  • Oracle Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2
