Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Oracle Database 10g 10.1.4.2 (Database Software). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Internet Directory component in Oracle Application Server 9.0.4.3, 10.1.2.3, and 10.1.4.2 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the Oracle July 2008 CPU. Oracle has not commented on reliable researcher claims that this issue is a denial of service (crash) via a malformed LDAP request that triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

The bug was discovered 07/15/2008. The weakness was presented 07/15/2008 by Joxean Koret (Alexander) with Application Security, Inc. (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-2595 since 06/09/2008. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed by Joxean Koret and been published 4 days after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

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 8735.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (43805), Exploit-DB (6101), SecurityFocus (BID 30177†), OSVDB (47719†) and Secunia (SA31087†).
