DESCRIPTION:
Deniz Cevik has reported a vulnerability in Oracle Application
Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The problem is that basic authentication in Oracle Application Server
Portal can be bypassed to read the content of "/dav_portal/portal/"
via a specially crafted session ID in the cookie, which is e.g. set
when accessing "/pls/portal/%0A".

The vulnerability is reported in Oracle Application Server 10g
Portal. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to affected systems.
