    SQL Injection in ALTER_MANUALLOG_CHANGE_SOURCE procedure

    AppSecInc Team SHATTER Security Advisory
    http://www.appsecinc.com/resources/alerts/oracle/2005-04.html
    April 18, 2005

    Affected versions: Oracle Database Server version 10g

    Risk level: High

    Credits: This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Esteban
    Martínez Fayó of Argeniss for Application Security Inc.

    Details:
    The CHANGE_SOURCE_NAME parameter of the standard procedure
    SYS.DBMS_CDC_IPUBLISH.ALTER_MANUALLOG_CHANGE_SOURCE is vulnerable to SQL
    injection. This package executes with privileges of the SYS user; by
    default, PUBLIC has EXECUTE privilege.

    Impact:
    Any low privileged database user can execute functions with DBA
    privileges. Users with privilges to create or modify a function can
    inject a user-defined function in the vulnerable procedure and thus
    execute SQL statements with DBA privileges.

    Workaround:
    Revoke Execute privilege on the DBMS_CDC_IPUBLISH package

    Vendor Status:
    Vendor was contacted and a patch was released.

    Fix:
    Apply Oracle Critical Patch Update April 2005 available at
    http://metalink.oracle.com
