DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported for various Oracle
products. Some have unknown impacts, other can be exploited to
disclose sensitive information, conduct SQL injection attacks, or to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

Details are available for the following vulnerabilities:

1) An input validation error exists within the GIOP service in Oracle
TNS Listener when processing connect GIOP packets. This can be
exploited to crash the TNS Listener or to disclose potential
sensitive information via a specially crafted packet.

2) Certain input processed by the CTX_DOC package is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code via the
THEMES, GIST, TOKENS, FILTER, HIGHLIGHT, and MARKUP procedures.

3) An error in Oracle RDBMS when processing TNS data packets can be
exploited to cause high CPU usage via a specially crafted packet
sequence.

4) Certain input processed by the LT package is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries in the FINDRICSET package.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary
SQL code via the FINDRICSET procedure.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to
gain "SYS" privileges.

5) An error in the Oracle XML DB ftp service leads to incorrect
"USERID" entries in the audit trail.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (see the vendor's advisory).
