Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Oracle Database Server is an enterprise-level relational database application suite. To extend the functionality of the Oracle Database Server, extra packages of related program objects, i.e. procedures, functions, variables, constants, cursors, and exceptions, are provided in order to better manage the data. The included stored procedures and functions, or subprograms, are called by name and optionally passed a set of parameters. They are essentially a set of SQL statements that are stored on the server-side, usually as precompiled SQL. There exists an SQL injection vulnerability in the Oracle Database products. The flaw can be triggered by a crafted call to the MDSYS.SDO_LRS package function convert_to_lrs_layer, resulting in execution of privileged SQL statements. The attacker must have limited privileges to create PL/SQL functions on the target server in order to trigger the vulnerability. Exploitation of this vulnerability may result in executing undesired SQL statements. The exact behaviour of the target system is dependent on the intention of the attacker. Depending on the setup of the database and user privileges, it may be possible for an attacker to affect the target host beyond the confines of the database which would allow manipulation of the host system. If the exploitation is carried out through an application that stores database credentials, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands on the back-end Oracle database server.
