Overview

Various Oracle products and components are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities. The impacts of these vulnerabilities include
unauthenticated, remote code execution, information disclosure, and
denial of service.

I. Description

Oracle released a Critical Patch Update in April that addresses
more than seventy vulnerabilities in different Oracle products and
components. The Critical Patch Update provides information about
which components are affected, what access and authorization are
required, and how data confidentiality, integrity, and availability
may be impacted.

US-CERT strongly recommends that sites running Oracle review the
Critical Patch Update, apply patches, and take other mitigating
action as appropriate.

Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP Server. According to
Oracle, the Critical Patch Update addresses a number of previously
disclosed Apache vulnerabilities. Oracle Database Client-only
installations are not affected.

US-CERT is tracking all of these issues under VU#948486. As further
information becomes available, we will publish individual
Vulnerability Notes.

II. Impact

The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary depending on product or
component and configuration. Potential consequences include remote
execution of arbitrary code or commands, information disclosure,
and denial of service. An attacker who compromises an Oracle
database may be able to gain access to sensitive information.

III. Solution

Apply a patch

Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
Critical Patch Update - April 2005. The update notes that some
Oracle patches are cumulative while others are not:

The Oracle Database Server, Enterprise Manager, and the Oracle
Application Server patches for this Critical Patch Update are
cumulative, and contain all the fixes from the previous Critical
Patch Update.
...

E-Business Suite patches are not cumulative, so E-Business Suite
customers should refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to
identify previous fixes they wish to apply.

Oracle Collaboration Suite patches are not cumulative, so Oracle
Collaboration Suite customers should refer to previous Critical
Patch Updates to identify previous fixes they wish to apply.

Workarounds

It may be possible to mitigate some vulnerabilities by disabling or
removing unnecessary components and restricting network access.
Revoking PUBLIC EXECUTE privileges from vulnerable stored
procedures may reduce the impact of SQL injection vulnerabilities
(VU#982109). For more specific workarounds please see the
individual Vulnerability Notes.

Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2005 contains a workaround for a
vulnerability in PeopleSoft.
