Discussion

Oracle Application Server Web Cache HTTP Request Method Heap Overrun Vulnerability

Oracle Application Server Web Cache is prone to a remotely exploitable heap overrun when handling excessive data specified in HTTP Requests.

This issue could be triggered through the HTTP or HTTPS ports of the service, which are user-configurable (by default HTTP is 7777/TCP and 4443/TCP is for HTTPS). It has been reported that these ports are normally reconfigured to 80/TCP and 443/TCP for HTTP and HTTPS respectively when making the service remotely accessible.

The vulnerability affects all platforms that the software runs on and may be exploited to execute arbitrary code in the context of the server process.
