Title: Multiple Oracle XDB FTP / HTTP Services Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Oracle 9i XML Database (XDB) is XML storage and retrieval software. The Oracle XDB server includes a HTTP service component, which listens on TCP port 8080, and an FTP component that listens on TCP port 2100.
David Litchfield, has illustrated multiple vulnerabilities in the Oracle 9i XML Database (XDB), during a seminar on "Variations in exploit methods between Linux and Windows" presented at the Blackhat conference.
The issues present themselves in XDB HTTP and FTP services. It has been reported that insufficient bounds checking performed by routines that process login credentials for HTTP and FTP services, and routines that process parameters passed to the 'test' and 'UNLOCK' FTP commands, may allow a remote attacker to trigger a buffer overflow condition.
Ultimately exploitation of these issues may provide for remote execution of arbitrary code in the security context of the vulnerable service.
Oracle has stated that Oracle 9i Release 1 and prior are not affected.
This BID will be divided into individual BIDs when further analysis of these conditions is completed.
Affected Products:
- Oracle Oracle9i Enterprise Edition 9.2.0 .0.1
- Oracle Oracle9i Personal Edition 9.2.0 .0.1
- Oracle Oracle9i Standard Edition 9.2.0 .0.1
