    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 July 2005 that addresses
       more than forty 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. Public reports describe vulnerabilities related to insecure
       password and temporary file handling and SQL injection.

       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. Some Oracle
       products include Java components from Sun Microsystems. According to
       Oracle, the July 2005 Critical Patch Update addresses previously
       disclosed vulnerabilities in Apache and Java. Oracle also notes that
       Oracle Database Client-only installations are not affected by
       vulnerabilities listed in the July 2005 Critical Patch Update.

       US-CERT is tracking all of these issues under VU#613562. 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 - July 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 in the Updates are cumulative; each
         successive Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the
         previous Critical Patch Updates.
         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, restricting network access, and
       restricting access to temporary files.

       Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2005 suggests setting a TNS
       listner password to mitigate a vulnerability in Oracle Database Server
       (DB08).
