TITLE:
Oracle Web Cache / Application Server Two Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA15143

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15143/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Oracle Application Server 10g
http://secunia.com/product/3190/
Oracle9i Application Server
http://secunia.com/product/443/
Oracle9iAS Web Cache
http://secunia.com/product/3198/

DESCRIPTION:
Alexander Kornbrust has reported two vulnerabilities in Oracle9iAS
Web Cache and Oracle Application Server, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, manipulate
data, and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) Input passed to the "cache_dump_file" and "PartialPageErrorPage"
parameters in "webcacheadmin" on port 4000 is not properly sanitised
before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site. This can further be exploited to write garbage to
arbitrary files via the "cache_dump_file" parameter.

2) Restricted URLs on the Oracle Application Server (port 7779) can
be accessed via the Web Cache on port 7778.

The vulnerabilities have been reported on a system with Oracle
Application Server and Oracle9iAS Web Cache.

SOLUTION:
The vendor has reportedly fixed the vulnerabilities silently. Ensure
that the latest patches have been installed.
