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, e.g., 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. An SQL injection vulnerability exists in Oracle Database Server product. The vulnerability exists due to an insufficient validation of arguments supplied to a certain function. A remote attacker with valid user credentials may leverage this vulnerability to inject and execute SQL code within the security context of the database administrator. Exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation allowing an attacker with limited privileges to execute statements with the privileges of the database system administrator. The exact behavior of the target system is dependent on the intention of the attacker. 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.
