Description:
47 vulnerabilities have been reported in various Oracle products. Some have an unknown impact, and others can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), gain knowledge of sensitive information, or to manipulate data.

Details have been disclosed for the following vulnerabilities:

1) JDeveloper starts sqlplus using a plain text password as a parameter.

2) Database passwords are stored in plain text in the JDeveloper configuration files, "IDEConnections.xml", "XSQLConfig.xml", and "settings.xml" .

3) Temporary files created by Oracle Forms Builder in the local "temp" directory contain plain text username and password of the current database connection used by Forms Builder. These files are not deleted when Forms Builder exits.

4) Oracle Forms application creates a temporary file in the "/tmp" directory of the application server if the number of records retrieved from the database exceeds the parameter "buffered records". This temporary file is world-readable and contains an unencrypted copy of the retrieved database records. This potentially allows local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information.

5) Several unspecified SQL injection and parameter manipulation vulnerabilities in the Oracle E-Business Suite can be exploited to execute malicious SQL statements in the database with privileges of the application database account.

6) An unspecified error in the CWM2_OLAP_AW_AWUTIL package can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS.

7) Certain input passed to the init function in the ORASSO.WPG_SESSION package and the EventQueueDisplay function in the OWF_MGR.WF_EVENT_HTML package isn't properly verified. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary SQL code with the privileges of the package owner.

8) Certain input passed to the web interface of Oracle XMLDB and Oracle iSQL*Plus isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

9) The problem is that it is possible to shut down the TNS Listener via a specially crafted URL in Oracle Forms and iSQL*Plus.
