Oracle Database 8i, 9i, and 10g allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL statements in the context of the SYS user and bypass audit logging, including statements to create new privileged database accounts, via a modified AUTH_ALTER_SESSION attribute in the authentication phase of the Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) protocol. NOTE: due to the lack of relevant details from the Oracle advisory, a separate CVE is being created since it cannot be conclusively proven that this issue has been addressed by Oracle. It is possible that this is the same issue as Oracle Vuln# DB18 from the January 2006 CPU, in which case this would be subsumed by CVE-2006-0265.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Oracle Database server 8.1.7.4, 9.0.1.5, 9.2.0.7, 10.1.0.5, and 10.2.0.1 have unspecified impact and attack vectors, as identified by Oracle Vuln# (1) DB17 in the Oracle Text component and (2) DB18 in the Program Interface Network component. NOTE: details are unavailable from Oracle, but they have not publicly disputed a claim by a reliable independent researcher that states that DB17 involves SQL injection in the (a) VALIDATE_STATEMENT and BUILD_DML functions in CTXSYS.DRILOAD; (b) CLEAN_DML function in CTXSYS.DRIDML; (c) GET_ROWID function in CTXSYS.CTX_DOC; (d) BROWSE_WORDS function in CTXSYS.CTX_QUERY; and (e) ODCIINDEXTRUNCATE, ODCIINDEXDROP, and ODCIINDEXDELETE functions in CATINDEXMETHODS.
