      Oracle E-Business Suite FNDWRR Buffer Overflow
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    The Oracle Applications FNDWRR CGI program, used to retrieve report output
    from the Concurrent Manager server via a web browser, has a remotely
    exploitable buffer overflow. A mandatory patch from Oracle is required to
    solve this security issue.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Oracle E-Business Suite 11.0 and 11.5.1 - 11.5.8

    The Oracle Applications Web Report Review (FNDWRR) program is used to view
    reports and logs in a web browser. FNDWRR is implemented as a CGI program.
    The FNDWRR CGI program is named "FNDWRR.exe" on both UNIX and Windows
    platforms.

    A buffer overflow exists in the FNDWRR program allowing an attacker to
    potentially gain control of the process and execute arbitrary code on the
    server. This buffer overflow can be remotely exploited using a web browser
    and an overly long URL.

    Solution:
    Oracle has released patches for Oracle Applications 11.0 and 11i to
    correct this vulnerability. Oracle has fixed the buffer overflow in the
    FNDWRR executable and related libraries.

    The following Oracle patches must be applied --
          Version Patch
          ------- -----
          11.0 2919943 (All Releases)
          11i 2919943 (11.5.1 - 11.5.8)

    Oracle Applications customers should consider this vulnerability high risk
    and apply the above patch during the next maintenance cycle. Customers
    with Internet facing application servers should apply the patch
    immediately.

    Appropriate testing and backups should be performed before applying any
    patches.
