Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported for various Oracle products. Some vulnerabilities have unknown impacts while others can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges, by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), disclose sensitive information, gain escalated privileges, conduct SQL injection attacks, or compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks, or to cause a DoS.

1) An unspecified error exists in Oracle HTTP Server.

This is related to:
SA24373

2) A NULL-pointer dereference error in Oracle Internet Directory can be exploited to cause a DoS by sending a specially crafted LDAP request to port 389/TCP or port 636/TCP.

3) A boundary error in the DBMS_AQELM package in Oracle Database can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by passing an overly large string as a parameter to a procedure.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of arbitrary code

4) An error due to use of an untrusted library path in a setuid root program can be exploited to gain root privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires access to the database owner account (typically "oracle") or being a member of the oracle installation group (typically "oinstall").

5) Input to the "SHOW" procedure within the "WWV_RENDER_REPORT" package is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to manipulate PLSQL statements by injecting certain PLSQL code.

Successful exploitation allows to gain full control of a backend Oracle database server via the front end web server.

6) An unspecified vulnerability in WebLogic Server within the ForeignJMS component and in the WebLogic console or server log can be exploited to disclose sensitive information.

7) Some unspecified vulnerabilities in WebLogic Server within in the Console/WLST can be exploited to gain escalated privileges.

8) An unspecified vulnerability in WebLogic Server within the WebLogic plug-ins for Apache, Sun and IIS Web servers can be exploited to disclose sensitive information.

9) An unspecified vulnerability in WebLogic Server within the processing of JSP pages can be exploited to disclose sensitive information.

10) An unspecified vulnerability in WebLogic Server within the UDDI Explorer can be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.

11) An unspecified vulnerability in WebLogic Server can be exploited to cause a DoS.

12) Input passed to the "REFRESHCHOICE" and "REFRESHHOME" parameters in web pages of Oracle Enterprise Manager is not properly sanitised before being returned to a user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

13) Input passed via the "ACTION" procedure in the PL/SQL package WWEXP_API_ENGINE is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

14) Input passed via the "DELETE_TRAN" procedure in the PL/SQL package DBMS_DEFER_SYS is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The remaining vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors. No more information is currently available.
