85 vulnerabilities have been reported in various Oracle products. Some have an unknown impact, and others can be exploited to conduct PL/SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting attacks, or potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

Details have been disclosed for the following vulnerabilities:

1) A buffer overflow vulnerability and seventeen PL/SQL injection vulnerabilities exists in Oracle Database 10g and Oracle9i Database Server.

2) Some input passed to "test.jsp" of the Oracle Reports Server 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.

3) Some Oracle Applications database accounts have excessive system privileges assigned, and some default application accounts are enabled and have default passwords.

4) Input passed to the "end date" field in "wf_route.CreateRule", and to the "response form" field in "wf_monitor.find_instance", isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the Oracle Workflow user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

5) A boundary error in the Oracle Agent, "emagent.exe", can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow in the Oracleoracleas1ASControl service and allows arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. The Oracle Agent is included with Oracle Application Server 10g and possibly other Oracle products.

6) The session URL rewriting function of the Oracle Application Server does not properly sanitise certain characters when resetting session management parameters. This can be exploited to conduct HTTP response splitting or cross-site scripting attacks.

7) Boundary errors in several packaged procedures of the Oracle Database e.g "sys.pbsde.init" may be exploited by malicious users to cause a buffer overflow.

8) Unspecified input is not properly sanitised in the SYS.KUPV$FILE package before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate a SQL query by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
