Oracle Spatial SQL injection vulnerability

Overview

Oracle Spatial is vulnerable to SQL injection, possibly allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on a vulnerable Oracle installation.

II. Impact

A remote attacker may be able to execute SQL queries on a server, possibly with elevated privileges. As a result, attackers may be able to view or modify the contents of an Oracle database.

III. Solution
