SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in Oracle E-Business Suite

• Oracle Applications 11.0 (all releases)
• Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, 11.5.1 through 11.5.8

A vulnerability in the Oracle’s E-Business Suite allows a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary script on a vulnerable database system.
Exploitation may lead to compromise of the database application, data
integrity, or underlying operating system.

Oracle E-Business Suite is a set of applications and modules that
enables an organization to manage customer interactions, deliver services,
manufacture products, ship orders, collect payments, and other tasks using
a single database model.

According to the Oracle
Security Alert 67, Oracle Applications 11.0 (all releases) and Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 11i, 11.5.1 through 11.5.8 are vulnerable to SQL
injection vulnerabilities. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.9 and
later are not vulnerable. This vulnerability is not platform specific.
Integrigy Corporation has also released an alert
about these vulnerabilities.

Note that no authentication mechanisms of Oracle E-Business Suite will
mitigate exploitation of the attack.

US-CERT is tracking this issue as VU#961579.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute
arbitrary SQL statements on the vulnerable system with the privileges of
the Oracle server process. In addition to compromising the integrity of
the database information, this may lead to the compromise of the database
application and the underlying operating system.
