DESCRIPTION:
23 vulnerabilities have been reported in various Oracle products.
Some have an unknown impact and others can be exploited to disclose
sensitive information, gain escalated privileges, conduct PL/SQL
injection attacks, manipulate information, or cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) A boundary error in the Networking component can be exploited by
malicious database users to crash the database via a specially
crafted connect string.

Successful exploitation requires permissions to create database
links.

2) An unspecified error in the LOB Access component can be exploited
to disclose sensitive information.

Successful exploitation requires permissions to read on a database
directory object.

3) An unspecified error in the Spatial component can potentially be
exploited to disclose information, manipulate data, or cause a DoS.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the mdsys.md2
package.

4) An unspecified error in the UTL_FILE component can potentially be
exploited to manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires permissions to read on a database
directory object.

5) An unspecified error in the Diagnostic component can potentially
be exploited to disclose information, manipulate data, or cause a
DoS.

6) An unspecified error in the XDB component can potentially be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
xdb.dbms_xdb packages.

7+8) Two unspecified errors in the XDB component can potentially be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
xdb.dbms_xdbz0 package.

9) An unspecified error in the Dataguard component can potentially be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
exfsys.dbms_expfil package.

10) An unspecified error in the Log Miner component can potentially
be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
dbms_logmnr package.

11) An unspecified error in the OLAP component can potentially be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the olapsys
package.

12) An unspecified error in the Data Mining component can potentially
be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
dmsys.dmp_sys package.

13) An unspecified error in the Advanced Queuing component can
potentially be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
dbms_transform_eximp package.

14) An unspecified error in the Change Data Capture component can
potentially be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
dbms_cdc_dputil package.

15) An unspecified error in the Change Data Capture component can
potentially be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
dbms_cdc_impdp package.

16) An unspecified error in the Database Core component can be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

17) An unspecified error in the OHS component can potentially be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires execute permissions on the
owa_opt_lock package.

18) An unspecified error in the Report Server component can be
exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

19) An unspecified error in the Forms component can be exploited to

21) An unspecified error in the Calendar component can potentially be
exploited to disclose information, manipulate data, or cause a DoS by
viewing a malicious image.

22) An unspecified error in Oracle E-Business Suite can potentially
be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.

Successful exploitation requires a valid session.

23) Another unspecified error in Oracle E-Business Suite can
potentially also be exploited to disclose or manipulate information.
