IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following information regarding the
vulnerabilities:
"This Critical Patch Update contains 7 new security fixes for Oracle
Insurance Applications. All of these vulnerabilities may be remotely
exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a
network without requiring user credentials." [1]
"CVE-2016-1000031
9.8 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
network access via HTTP to compromise the affected system. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of the affected
system.
Affects:
o Oracle Insurance Calculation Engine 9.7, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2
o Oracle Insurance Policy Administration J2EE 10.0, 10.1, 10.2,
11.0
o Oracle Insurance Rules Palette 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0
CVE-2018-15756
7.5 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
network access via HTTP to compromise the affected system. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to
cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of the
affected system.
Affects:
o Oracle Insurance Calculation Engine 9.7, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2
o Oracle Insurance Policy Administration J2EE 10.0, 10.1, 10.2,
11.0
o Oracle Insurance Rules Palette 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0
CVE-2017-14735
6.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
network access via HTTP to compromise the affected system. Successful
attacks require human interaction from a person other than the
attacker and while the vulnerability is in the affected system,
attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update,
insert or delete access to some of the affected system's accessible
data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of the affected
system's accessible data.
Affects:
o Oracle Insurance Calculation Engine 9.7, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2" [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]
