RETIRED: Oracle Application Server Oracle Containers for J2EE Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Oracle Containers for J2EE is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

This issue is associated with Oracle security bug ID 7391479.

Exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to view arbitrary local files within the context of the webserver. Information harvested may aid in launching further attacks.

This issue affects Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.1.0; other versions may also be affected.

UPDATE (January 21, 2009): This issue may be a duplicate of one of CVE-2008-4017 or CVE-2008-5460, resolved in the Oracle January 2009 Critical Patch Update. These issues are documented in BID 33177 (Oracle January 2009 Critical Patch Update Multiple Vulnerabilities). We will update this BID as more information becomes available.
