Unspecified vulnerability in the TimesTen Data Server component in Oracle Database 7.0.5.0.0 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the January 2009 CPU. Oracle has not commented on reliable researcher claims that this is a format string vulnerability via the msg parameter in the evtdump CGI module.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Oracle TimesTen Data Server issue could let a remote attacker affect database confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The public record is sparse, but third-party reports describe a possible format string flaw in an evtdump CGI parameter. Organizations only need urgent action if Oracle TimesTen 7.0.5.0.0 is still deployed or exposed. Likely exposure is limited to legacy Oracle TimesTen 7.0.5.0.0 installations, especially systems with TimesTen Data Server or evtdump CGI reachable from untrusted networks. Modern environments are unlikely affected unless old software remains in production, labs, or forgotten infrastructure. Treat as priority only if legacy Oracle TimesTen remains in use. A reachable database component with remote confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact deserves fast containment, but the age and sparse evidence make inventory confirmation the first business decision. Mitigation focus: Identify any Oracle TimesTen Data Server 7.0.5.0.0 deployments.; Review Oracle January 2009 CPU and current Oracle support guidance.; Upgrade or retire unsupported TimesTen instances where feasible..
