Problem first discovered on: Tue, 01 Feb 2005
Published on: Tue, 21 Oct 2005

Severity Level:

Medium

Overview:

Oracle Application Server has vulnerabilities of HTTP Response Splitting.
This makes possible to represent an unreal content as if it is real or
to cause Cross Site Scripting attacks.

Problem Description:

Oracle Application Server has Session URL Rewriting function, which can embed
and specify session management parameters in URL.

In Session URL Rewriting function, the server does not sanitize Special
character appropriately when resetting the specified session
management parameters as Cookie.

response when specifying session management parameters including
arbitrary content prefixed with a linefeed code.

In the result, representing unreal content as if it is real or causing
Cross Site Scripting attacks can be possible. And this might be
exploited for Phishing Fraud, Session Hijack, and so on.
