        access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Communications Order
        and Service Management.  Successful attacks require human
        interaction from a person other than the attacker and while
        the vulnerability is in Oracle Communications Order and
        Service Management, attacks may significantly impact
        additional products. Successful attacks of this
        vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update, insert or
        delete access to some of Oracle Communications Order and
        Service Management accessible data as well as  unauthorized
        read access to a subset of Oracle Communications Order and
        Service Management accessible data.

        The supported version that is affected is 3.x. Difficult to
        exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
        network access via TLS to compromise Oracle Communications
        Application Session Controller.  Successful attacks of this
        vulnerability can result in  unauthorized access to critical
        data or complete access to all Oracle Communications
        Application Session Controller accessible data.
        
        CVE-2018-2571
        
        5.4
        
        AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
        
        Supported versions that are affected are 7.2.4.2.x and  7.3.
        Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged
        attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle
        Communications Unified Inventory Management.  Successful
        attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized
        update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle
        Communications Unified Inventory Management accessible data
        as well as  unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle
        Communications Unified Inventory Management accessible
        data." [2]


MITIGATION

        Oracle states:
        
        "Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle
        strongly recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon
        as possible. Until you apply the CPU fixes, it may be
        possible to reduce the risk of successful attack by blocking
        network protocols required by an attack. For attacks that
        require certain privileges or access to certain packages,
        removing the privileges or the ability to access the
        packages from users that do not need the privileges may help
        reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may
        break application functionality, so Oracle strongly
        recommends that customers test changes on non-production
        systems. Neither approach should be considered a long-term
        solution as neither corrects the underlying problem." [1]
