Technical description

The triggers in Oracle 9i and 10g allow local users to gain privileges by using a sequence of partially privileged actions: using CCBKAPPLROWTRIG or EXEC_CBK_FN_DML to add arbitrary functions to the SDO_CMT_DBK_FN_TABLE and SDO_CMT_CBK_DML_TABLE, then performing a DELETE on the SDO_TXN_IDX_INSERTS table, which causes the SDO_CMT_CBK_TRIG trigger to execute the user-supplied functions.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from oracle. Update database_server to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
