    Researchers at NGSSoftware have discovered multiple high risk
    vulnerabilities in the Oracle Database Server. Versions affected include

    Oracle Database 10g - All Releases
    Oracle9i Database Server - All Releases

    The vulnerabilities include PL/SQL Injection vulnerabilities that allow low
    privileged users to gain DBA privileges and a buffer overflow vulnerability.
    The former can be exploited via the web through Oracle Application Server.
    Oracle has released a patch set (18/01/2005) to address these issues. Oracle
    database administrators are urged to download, test and install the patch
    set as soon as possible. See http://metalink.oracle.com/ for more details.

    NGSSoftware are going to withhold details about these flaws for three
    months. Full details will be published on the 18th of April 2005. This three
    month window will allow Oracle database administrators the time needed to
    test and apply the patch set before the details are released to the general
    public. This reflects NGSSoftware's new approach to responsible disclosure.

    NGSSQuirreL for Oracle, NGSSoftware's advanced vulnerability assessment
    scanner and security manager for Oracle, has been updated to check for and
    positively identify these flaws in Oracle database servers on the network.
