Synopsis
The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its banner, the version of Oracle Application Server 9i Webcache installed on the remote host suffers from several flaws:- Arbitrary File Corruption Vulnerability An attacker may be able to corrupt arbitrary files on the remote host by passing the filenames through the 'cache_dump_file' parameter of the 'webcacheadmin' script.
- Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities The 'webcacheadmin' script does not properly sanitize the 'cache_dump_file' and 'PartialPageErrorPage' parameters before using them in dynamically-generated web pages. An attacker may be able to exploit these flaws to conduct cross-site scripting attacks against the affected website.
Reportedly, an attacker can exploit both types of vulnerabilities to corrupt an OAS installation.
