Overview
Oracle products and components are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities. The impacts of these vulnerabilities include remote
execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, and denial of
service.
I. Description
Oracle has released Critical Patch Update - July 2006. This update
addresses numerous vulnerabilities in different Oracle products and
components.
The Critical Patch Update provides information about affected
components, access and authorization required, and the impact of the
vulnerabilities on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
MetaLink customers should refer to MetaLink Note 293956.1 (login
required) for more information on terms used in the Critical Patch
Update.
According to Oracle, four of the vulnerabilities corrected in the
Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2006 affect Oracle Database
client-only installations.
We believe that the Oracle Database vulnerability identified as Oracle
Vuln# DB06 in the Oracle Critical Patch Update corresponds to US-CERT
Vulnerability Note VU#932124, which includes further details as well
as workarounds. In most cases, Oracle does not associate Vuln#
identifiers (e.g., DB01) with other available information. As more
details about vulnerabilities and remediation strategies become
available, we will update the individual
vulnerability notes.
II. Impact
The impact of these vulnerabilities varies depending on the product,
component, and configuration of the system. Potential consequences
include the execution of arbitrary code or commands, information
disclosure, and denial of service. Vulnerable components may be
available to unauthenticated, remote attackers. An attacker who
compromises an Oracle database may be able to gain access to sensitive
information.
III. Solution
Apply a patch from Oracle
Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
Critical Patch Update - April 2006. Note that this Critical Patch
Update only lists newly corrected issues. Updates to patches for
previously known issues are not listed.
As noted in the update, some patches are cumulative, others are not:
The Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Enterprise
Manager Grid Control, Oracle Collaboration Suite, JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne and OneWorld Tools, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal
Applications patches in the Updates are cumulative; each successive
Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the previous Critical
Patch Updates.
Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications patches are not
cumulative, so E-Business Suite and Applications customers should
refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to identify previous fixes
they want to apply.
Patches for some platforms and components were not available when the
Critical Patch Update was published on July 18, 2006. Please see
MetaLink Note 372930.1 (login required) for more information.
