Overview

Oracle products and components are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities. The impacts of these vulnerabilities include remote
execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, and denial of
service.


I. Description

Oracle has released Critical Patch Update - April 2006. This update
addresses more than thirty vulnerabilities in different Oracle
products and components.

The Critical Patch Update provides information about affected
components, access and authorization required, and the impact of the
vulnerabilities on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
MetaLink customers should refer to MetaLink Note 293956.1 (login
required) for more information on terms used in the Critical Patch
Update.

According to Oracle, none of the vulnerabilities corrected in the
Oracle Critical Patch Update affect Oracle Database Client-only
installations.

The PL/SQL Gateway vulnerability identified as PLSQL01 in the Oracle
Critical Patch Update corresponds to US-CERT Vulnerability Note
VU#169164, which includes further details including workarounds.

In most cases, Oracle does not associate Vuln# identifiers (e.g.,
DB01) with other available information. As more details about
vulnerabilities and remediation strategies becomes available, we will
update the individual vulnerability notes.


II. Impact

The impact of these vulnerabilities varies depending on the product,
component, and configuration of the system. Potential consequences
include the execution of arbitrary code or commands, information
disclosure, and denial of service. Vulnerable components may be
available to unauthenticated, remote attackers. An attacker who
compromises an Oracle database may be able to gain access to sensitive
information.


III. Solution

Apply a patch

Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
Critical Patch Update - April 2006. Note that this Critical Patch
Update only lists newly corrected issues. Updates to patches for
previously known issues are not listed.

As noted in the update, some patches are cumulative, others are not:

The Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Enterprise
Manager Grid Control, Oracle Collaboration Suite, JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne and OneWorld Tools, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal
Applications patches in the Updates are cumulative; each successive
Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the previous Critical
Patch Updates.
Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications patches are not
cumulative, so E-Business Suite and Applications customers should
refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to identify previous fixes
they wish to apply.

Patches for some platforms and components were not available when the
Critical Patch Update was published on April 18, 2006. Please see
MetaLink Note 360465.1 (login required) for more information.

Known issues with Oracle patches are documented in the
pre-installation notes and patch readme files. Please consult these
documents specific to your system before applying patches.
