Red-Database-Security GmbH  - Oracle Security Advisory

Oracle Forms Builder Password in Temp Files

 Name                Oracle Forms Builder Password in Temp Files
 Systems Affected    Oracle Formsbuilder  9.0.4
 Severity            Low Risk 
 Category            Information disclosure of passwords
 Vendor URL          http://www.oracle.com 
 Author              Alexander Kornbrust (ak at
red-database-security.com) 
 Date                13 July 2005 (V 1.00) 
 Advisory            AKSEC2003-006
 Oracle Vuln#        AS06
 Time to fix         148 days


Details
#######
Oracle Formsbuilder 9.0.4 creates temp files (e.g. s5hs.1htm) in the
local 
temp (%TEMP%) directory. These temp-files contain the username and
password 
of the current database connection entered in the Formsbuilder. After
closing Formsbuilder these files are not deleted.

This security issued was introduced in Formsbuilder 9.0.4 to avoid
another 
security issue in older versions of Formsbuilder (cleartext passwords in
the 
Apache log file).


Example
#######
<html> <head> ORACLE FORMS.</head>
<body onload="document.pform.submit();" >
<form name="pform" action="http://localhost:8889/forms90/f90servlet"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="form"
value="C:\oracle_security\sql_injection_forms\demo1.fmx">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="SCOTT/TIGER@...10103">
<input type="hidden" name="obr" value="yes">
<input type="hidden" name="array" value="YES">
</form> </body></html>



Workaround
##########
Set the environment variable TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR to a secure location
and 
delete the temp directory on a regular basis.
