Oracle Diagnostic Tools do not properly authenticate users

Original Release date: 03 Mar 2006 | Last revised: 09 Mar 2006

Overview

Oracle Diagnostic Tools fail to properly authenticate users before granting access to tools and tool resources. This may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access and execute diagnostic tools on an Oracle E-Business Suite installation.

Description

Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to access and run Oracle Diagnostic tools. Depending on the tool being accessed, this may allow the attacker to modify Oracle E-Business Suite settings or obtain sensitive information about an Oracle E-Business Suite installation.
