Summary

A buffer overflow in an unspecified Oracle Client utility may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. Lack of details from the Oracle advisory prevents conclusive confirmation that the issue has been addressed.

Risk Assessment

Risk includes remote code execution with the privileges of the client utility or system disruption, potentially compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Recommendation

Original NVD description (English source)

Buffer overflow in an unspecified Oracle Client utility might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. NOTE: due to the lack of relevant details from the Oracle advisory, a separate CVE is being created since it cannot be conclusively proven that this issue has been addressed by Oracle. It is possible that this is the same issue as Oracle Vuln# DBC02 from the January 2006 CPU, in which case this would be a duplicate of CVE-2006-0283. However, there are enough inconsistencies that the mapping can not be made authoritatively.
