A vulnerability was found in Oracle Database up to 9.0.2 (Database Software). It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /reports/rwservlet of the component desformat Report Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Oracle Reports 6.0, 6i, 9i, and 10g allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via (1) "..", (2) Windows drive letter (C:), and (3) absolute path sequences in the desname parameter. NOTE: this issue was probably fixed by REP06 in CPU Jan 2006, in which case it overlaps CVE-2006-0289.

The bug was discovered 01/17/2005. The weakness was disclosed 07/20/2005 by Alexander Kornbrust with Red-Database-Security (Website). The advisory is shared at red-database-security.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2005-2371 since 07/26/2005. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.
