TITLE

Oracle Application Server of Outside In Technology Component vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the Outside In Technology component in Oracle Application Server 8.2.2 and 8.3.0 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, related to HTML. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the April 2009 CPU. Oracle has not commented on reliable researcher claims that this issue is for multiple integer overflows in a function that parses an optional data stream within a Microsoft Office file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. 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. I. The document provides information about affected components, access and authorization required for successful exploitation, and the impact from the vulnerabilities on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. If significant additional details about vulnerabilities and remediation techniques become available, we will update the Vulnerability Notes Database. 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 access sensitive information. Note that this document only lists newly corrected issues. Updates to patches for previously known issues are not listed.

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 integer overflow vulnerabilities in Oracle Corp.'s Outside In Technology, as included in various vendors' software distributions, allows attacker to execute arbitrary code. These vulnerabilities exist in the handling of an optional data stream stored within various files. Both issues are integer overflows, and are within the same function. Within the vulnerable function, an integer value is read from the Microsoft Office file. This value is later used in several arithmetic integer calculations. Since no validation is performed, integer overflows can occur. The result is the allocation of a buffer that is too small to hold the data that is subsequently read from the file. A heap buffer overflow occurs, leading to an exploitable condition. 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 a specially crafted Office document attachment to a user. When the user chooses to view the document, 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. Multiple modules were confirmed to contain the vulnerable code; vsmpp, vspp97, vsvisio, vsw6, vsw97, vsxl5. Other modules may also be affected. 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 the affected modules. 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 modules. 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-2009-1011 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.

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.
