Absolute path traversal vulnerability in Oracle Database Server, when utl_file_dir is set to a wildcard value or "CREATE ANY DIRECTORY to PUBLIC" privileges exist, allows remote authenticated users to read and modify arbitrary files via full filepaths to utl_file functions such as (1) utl_file.put_line and (2) utl_file.get_line, a related issue to CVE-2005-0701. NOTE: this issue is disputed by third parties who state that this is due to an insecure configuration instead of an inherent vulnerability

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue concerns dangerous Oracle Database file-access settings. If UTL_FILE_DIR is wildcarded or CREATE ANY DIRECTORY is granted to PUBLIC, an authenticated remote database user may read or change arbitrary server files through UTL_FILE routines. The record notes the issue is disputed as insecure configuration rather than an inherent product flaw. Exposure is most likely in legacy Oracle Database environments that enabled wildcard UTL_FILE_DIR or granted CREATE ANY DIRECTORY broadly. Authenticated database access is required. The source bundle does not provide confirmed CPEs, supported affected versions, or patch status. Prioritize discovery in legacy Oracle estates and regulated systems where database servers can reach sensitive files. Because this is configuration-dependent, disputed, and lacks severity scoring, urgency should be driven by exposure and data sensitivity. Mitigation focus: Audit Oracle instances for wildcard UTL_FILE_DIR settings.; Remove CREATE ANY DIRECTORY from PUBLIC if present.; Restrict file directory access to explicit, required paths only..
