APP: Oracle Database Server SQL Query Directory Traversal

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Oracle Database server. A successful attack can allow the attackers to read the content of arbitrary files on the target host.

Extended Description

Oracle Database server is reported prone to multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities that may allow a remote attacker to read, write, or rename arbitrary files with the privileges of the Oracle Database server. The issues are reported to exist due to a lack of sufficient input validation performed on filenames and paths passed to file processing functions, and may allow a malicious SQL query to traverse outside of a directory that is described in an Oracle directory object.
