Oracle9i 9.0/9.0.1 PL/SQL information disclosure

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Oracle9i 9.0/9.0.1 (Database Software). Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component PL/SQL Module. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

PL/SQL module 3.0.9.8.2 in Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.x allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the OWA_UTIL stored procedures (1) OWA_UTIL.signature, (2) OWA_UTIL.listprint, or (3) OWA_UTIL.show_query_columns.

The weakness was published 07/03/2002 by David Litchfield as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at cert.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2002-0560. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 11225 (Oracle 9iAS OWA_UTIL Stored Procedures Information Disclosure), 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 86328 (Oracle 9i Application Server PL/SQL OWA_UTIL Unauthorized Stored Procedure Access Vulnerability).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (8451), Tenable (11225), SecurityFocus (BID 4294†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-2258†). Similar entries are available at VDB-17930, VDB-17931, VDB-18379 and VDB-18381. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
