A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Oracle Application Server 1.0.2 (Application Server Software). This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the component PL SQL Apache Module. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in PL/SQL Apache module in Oracle Oracle 9i Application Server allows remote attackers to access sensitive information via a double encoded URL with .. (dot dot) sequences.

The weakness was released 12/21/2001 by David Litchfield as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2001-1217. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1006.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 10854 (Oracle 9iAS mod_plsql Encoded Traversal Arbitrary File Access), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Databases and running in the context r. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 86319 (Oracle 9i Application Server PL/SQL Apache Module Directory Traversal Vulnerability).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 1385.
