descriptionAccording to its version number, the installation of Oracle on the remote host is reportedly subject to multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities that may allow a remote attacker to read, write, or rename arbitrary files with the privileges of the Oracle Database server. An authenticated user can craft SQL queries such that they would be able to retrieve any file on the system and potentially retrieve and/or modify files in the same drive as the affected application.
