Oracle Internet Directory 2.0.6 Buffer Overflow
A buffer overflow exists in the oidldap binary, which is setuid oracle. When executed on the command line, the oidldap binary performs an unsafe check of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. It is possible for a malicious user to execute shell code through the ORACLE_HOME environment variable, allowing the user to inherit an euid of oracle. In a stock installation of Oracle 8.1.6, this could create a scenario which would allow a local user to compromise the integrity of a database.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Oracle 8.1.7 or later
