Overview

Various 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 - January 2006. This update
addresses more than eighty 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.
For more information on terms used in the Critical Patch Update,
Metalink customers should refer to MetaLink Note 293956.1.

According to Oracle, three of the vulnerabilities corrected un the
Oracle Critical Patch Update for January 2006 affect Oracle Database
Client-only installations.

US-CERT recommends that sites running Oracle review the Critical Patch
Update, apply patches, and take other mitigating action as
appropriate. US-CERT is tracking all of these issues under VU#545804.
As further information becomes available, we will publish 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 are likely to
be available to attackers via remote networks and with limited or no
prior authorization. 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 - January 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.
