Discussion

Oracle Application Server 9i Webcache Arbitrary File Corruption Vulnerability

The issue exists becaue dangerous characters are not removed from a certain parameter value, allowing an attacker to construct a URI that contains an absolute path to any target file.

If this URI is followed by a user with sufficient privileges, garbage data is appended to the end of the specified file.
