Oracle Database Server multiple functions buffer overflow
| oracle-multiple-function-bo (15060) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Oracle9i Database Server is vulnerable to buffer overflows in the NUMTOYMINTERVAL, NUMTODSINTERVAL, FROM_TZ functions and in the TIME_ZONE environment variable, caused by improper bounds checking. A remote authenticated attacker could supply a long parameter to overflow a buffer and cause the server to crash or to execute arbitrary code on the system.
