    SUMMARY

    Within the Oracle interMedia system, two types (ORDImage and ORDDoc) have
    a vulnerability that can cause a Denial of Service condition. When trying
    to load a specially constructed file, or when setting specially
    constructed data to object's property, a Denial of service can be
    triggered making Oracle server process consume 100% CPU usage. The service
    needs to be restarted to resume normal operation.

    This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by supplying a specially
    constructed file to an application that uses the vulnerable objects to
    process the file in the database server.

    database user can exploit this vulnerability. Exploitation of this
    vulnerability will allow an attacker to cause a DOS (Denial of service).
