Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

| description | The version of Oracle E-Business installed on the remote host is missing the October 2016 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the OpenSSL subcomponent in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function within file crypto/evp/encode.c that is triggered when handling a large amount of input data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2105) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the OpenSSL subcomponent in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function within file crypto/evp/evp_enc.c that is triggered when handling a large amount of input data after a previous call occurs to the same function with a partial block. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-2106) - Multiple flaws exist in the OpenSSL subcomponent in the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha1_cipher() function in file crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c and the aesni_cbc_hmac_sha256_cipher() function in file crypto/evp/e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c that are triggered when the connection uses an AES-CBC cipher and AES-NI is supported by the server. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit these to conduct a padding oracle attack, resulting in the ability to decrypt the network traffic. (CVE-2016-2107) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the OpenSSL subcomponent in the d2i BIO functions when reading ASN.1 data from a BIO due to invalid encoding causing a large allocation of memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service condition through resource exhaustion. (CVE-2016-2109) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the OpenSSL subcomponent in the X509_NAME_oneline() function within file crypto/x509/x509_obj.c when handling very long ASN1 strings. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose the contents of stack memory. (CVE-2016-2176) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Runtime Catalog subcomponent in the iStore component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5489) - An unspecified flaw exists in the AD Utilities subcomponent in the Applications DBA component that allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-5517) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Workflow Events subcomponent in the Shipping Execution component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-5532) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Price Book subcomponent in the Advanced Pricing component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5557) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Requisition Management subcomponent in the iProcurement component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5562) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the AD Utilities subcomponent in the DBA component that allow an authenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE- 2016-5567, CVE-2016-5570, CVE-2016-5571) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Resources Module subcomponent in the Common Applications Calendar component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-5575) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Candidate Self Service subcomponent in the iRecruitment component that allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-5581) - An unspecified flaw exists in the File Upload subcomponent in the One-to-One Fulfillment component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2016-5583) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Select Application Dependencies subcomponent in the Interaction Center Intelligence component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5585) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Dispatch/Service Call Requests subcomponent in the Email Center component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5586) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Outcome-Result subcomponent in the Customer Interaction History component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5587, CVE-2016-5591, CVE-2016-5593) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Responsibility Management subcomponent in the CRM Technical Foundation component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5589) - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Result-Reason subcomponent in the Customer Interaction History component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2016-5592, CVE-2016-5595) - An unspecified flaw exists in the Default Responsibility subcomponent in the CRM Technical Foundation component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
