Oracle Database Server Release 2 Name memory corruption

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 was found in Oracle Database Server Release 2 (Database Software). It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown code. The manipulation of the argument NAME with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the XDB.XDB_PITRIG_PKG.PITRIG_DROPMETADATA procedure in Oracle 10g R2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) OWNER or (2) NAME argument.

The weakness was disclosed 11/08/2007 by David Maman (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2007-4517 since 08/23/2007. The attack may be initiated remotely. A simple authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known.

A public exploit has been developed by David Maman and been published 5 years after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 19302 (XDB_PITRIG_PKG.PITRIG_DROPMETADATA Package Buffer Overflow Vulnerability on Oracle 10g Release 2).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 5913.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (38318), Exploit-DB (18093), SecurityFocus (BID 26374†), Secunia (SA27526†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1018908†). The entry VDB-39620 is pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
