What happened
A flaw in the OSSL Module of Oracle HTTP Server (part of Oracle Fusion Middleware) allows a low-privileged attacker with HTTP network access to compromise the server, with a scope change that can impact other products.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 with the OSSL Module exposed to network HTTP access.
Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0; Oracle HTTP Server 14.1.2.0.0 (Oracle Fusion Middleware, component: OSSL Module)
What to do
- Check whether you run Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0 or 14.1.2.0.0 and whether the OSSL Module is in use
- Apply the security update from Oracle's Critical Patch Update advisory for these versions
- Restrict network access to the HTTP server and limit low-privileged accounts until patched
