Dear newsletter reader
Today I relased a new whitepaper "Bypassing Oracle dbms_assert".
This technique makes many already fixed
Oracle vulnerabilities (SQL Injection) exploitable again.
URL:
http://www.red-database-security.com/wp/bypass_dbms_assert.pdf
Summary:
By using specially crafted parameters (in double quotes) it is possible
to
bypass the input validation of the security package dbms_assert and inject
SQL code. This makes dozens of already fixed Oracle vulnerabilities exploitable
in all versions of Oracle again (8.1.7.4 -
10.2.0.2, fully patched with
Oracle
CPU July 2006). I informed Oracle about this problem end of April 2006
and informed
Oracle about some bugs + exploits.
