Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Oracle allowing malicious local users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that the "LD_PRELOAD" environment variable isn't properly verified allowing malicious users to set "LD_PRELOAD" to an overly long string causing a buffer overflow. This could potentially be used to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileged as user "oracle" and group "dba".
A proof of concept exploit has been published.
This affects the Oracle 8i Database and Oracle 9i Database (release 1 and 2).
