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 Workspace Manager component. The flaw can be triggered by a crafted call to the ROLLBACKWORKSPACE procedure, 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. A malicious user can call the vulnerable procedure of this package with specially crafted parameters and execute SQL statements with elevated privileges of the package owner, which can be SYS or WMSYS, depending on the system configuration.
