CVE-2009-1979 (CCN-53837)

Assigned:2009-10-21
Published:2009-10-21
Updated:2018-10-10
Summary:Unspecified vulnerability in the Network Authentication component in Oracle Database 10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.4 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors.
Note: the previous information was obtained from the October 2009 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from an independent researcher that this is related to improper validation of the AUTH_SESSKEY parameter length that leads to arbitrary code execution.
Per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuoct2009.html
