Technical Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various Oracle products, which could be exploited by remote or local attackers to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary commands, read and overwrite arbitrary data, disclose sensitive information, conduct SQL injection and cross site scripting attacks, or bypass security restrictions.

The first issue is due to an input validation error in Oracle Database when handling certain parameters via XML DB, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.

The second issue is due to an input validation error in the "DBMS_AQ_INV" package, which could be exploited by malicious people to inject and execute arbitrary SQL queries.

The third vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow error in the Oracle Notification Service (ONS) when processing malformed requests sent to port 6200/TCP, which could be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The fourth issue is due to an input validation error in Oracle Application Server when processing requests via the "EmChartBean" component, which could be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to access and read the contents of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.

The fifth vulnerability is due to an input validation error in Oracle Reports Web Cartridge (RWCGI60) when processing the "genuser" parameter script, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.

Other unspecified vulnerabilities have also been identified in various components.
