TITLE

Oracle Application Server of Outside In Technology Component vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the Outside In Technology component in Oracle Application Server 8.1.9 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, related to HTML. Oracle has released the April 2009 critical patch update that addresses 43 vulnerabilities affecting the following software: Oracle Database Oracle Audit Vault Oracle Application Server Oracle Outside In SDK HTML Export Oracle XML Publisher Oracle BI Publisher Oracle E-Business Suite PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS Oracle WebLogic Server (formerly BEA WebLogic Server) Oracle Data Service Integrator Oracle AquaLogic Data Services Platform Oracle JRockit. Oracle Outside In is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these issue by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted file with an application using the affected library. Successful exploits will allow arbitrary code to run in the context of the user running the affected application. NOTE: These issues were previously covered in BID 34461 (Oracle April 2009 Critical Patch Update Multiple Vulnerabilities), but have been given their own record to better document them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you missing: SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: Critical: Impact: Where: within the advisory below? This is now part of the Secunia commercial solutions. For more information see vulnerability #6 through #9 in: SA34693 SOLUTION: The vendor recommends to delete the GdFileConv.exe file. See vendor's advisory for additional details. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 iDefense Security Advisory 05.14.09 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ May 14, 2009 I. BACKGROUND Oracle Corp.'s Outside In Technology is a document conversion engine supporting a large number of binary file formats. Prior to Oracle's acquisition, the software was maintained by Stellent Inc. The software appears to have originated from "QuickView" for Windows 98, but later spun off. It is used by various software packages, one of which is Motorola Inc.'s Good Mobile Messaging Server. For more information, visit the vendors' sites at the URLs provided below. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/content-management/oit/oit_all.html http://www.good.com/corp/index.php II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Oracle Corp.'s Outside In Technology, as included in various vendors' software distributions, allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. Two vulnerabilities exist due to a lack of bounds checking when processing specially crafted Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files. The two issues exist in two distinct functions. The two vulnerabilities are nearly identical, with the differentiating factor being the value of a flag bit within a record of the file. If the bit is set, the code path to the first vulnerable function is taken. Otherwise, the code path to the second vulnerable function is taken. The cause of the vulnerability is the same in each case. An array of structures, stored on the stack, is manipulated in a loop without validating the bounds of the array. By crafting a file containing a properly malformed record, it is possible to write outside the bounds of this array. The resulting stack corruption can lead to arbitrary code execution. III. ANALYSIS Exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. In order to exploit these vulnerabilities, the attacker must somehow supply a malformed document to an application that will process the document with Outside In Technology. Likewise, the privileges gained will also depend on the software using the library. In the case of Good Mobile Messaging Server, an attacker can send an electronic mail message with an Excel spreadsheet attachment to a user. When the user chooses to view the spreadsheet, the vulnerable condition will be triggered. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker will gain the privileges of the "GoodAdmin" user. This is a special user account which, in some configurations, may be a member of the "Administrator" group. Regardless of the user's "Administrator" status, the user will always have full privileges to "Read" and "Send As" all users on the Microsoft Exchange server. This could allow an attacker to conduct further social engineering attacks. Other software packages using Outside In were not investigated. IV. DETECTION iDefense confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities using the follow versions of Outside In on Windows Server 2003 SP2. 8.1.5.4282 8.1.9.4417 8.2.2.4866 8.3.0.5129 Additionally the following versions of Good Mobile Messaging Server for Exchange ship with vulnerable versions of vsxl5.dll. 4.9.3.41 5.0.4.28 6.0.0.106 All versions of Outside In, including versions for operating systems other than Windows, are assumed to be vulnerable. Additionally, all software that includes or uses Outside In is assumed to be vulnerable. Earlier versions, including those branded with other names, are vulnerable as well. V. WORKAROUND In order to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability, iDefense recommends using file system access control lists (ACLs) to prevent reading the affected module. For Good Mobile Messaging Server, Good Software recommends deleting the GdFileConv.exe file and restarting the Messaging Server. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Oracle has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuapr2009.html Good Technology has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL: http://www.good.com/faq/18431.html VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2009-1009 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.

Upon entering the vulnerable function, data is copied from a heap buffer into a stack buffer without ensuring that the data will fit. It is interesting to note that this vulnerability was fixed some time between the release of version 8.1.5 and version 8.1.9. No public record exists documenting the existence of this vulnerability. iDefense confirmed that the following versions are not affected: 8.1.9.4417 (shipped with GMMS 5.0.4.28 and GMMS 6.0.0.106) 8.2.2.4866 8.3.0.5129 V. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is pleased to announce the release of the annual Secunia report for 2008. Some have unknown impacts, others can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks or disclose sensitive information, and by malicious people compromise a vulnerable system. 1) A format string error exists within the Oracle Process Manager and Notification (opmn) daemon, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted POST request to port 6000/TCP. 2) Input passed to the "DBMS_AQIN" package is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 3) An error in the Application Express component included in Oracle Database can be exploited by unprivileged database users to disclose APEX password hashes in "LOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_USER". The remaining vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors.
