CVE-2019-2868: Vulnerability in the Data Store component of Oracle Berkeley DB.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Oracle Berkeley DB Data Store versions listed by Oracle. An attacker who can log on to the infrastructure running Data Store, and can trigger required user interaction, may take over the Data Store. Impact is high, but exploitation is constrained by local access, high complexity, and user interaction. Exposure is limited to environments running the affected Oracle Berkeley DB Data Store versions where an attacker can log on to the hosting infrastructure. Systems using different Berkeley DB versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a high-priority remediation item for affected Berkeley DB Data Store environments, especially where sensitive data is stored. It is not described as a broad internet-routable emergency, but successful compromise could mean full Data Store takeover. Mitigation focus: Review Oracle's July 2019 Critical Patch Update guidance for Berkeley DB.; Upgrade or patch affected Berkeley DB Data Store deployments per Oracle guidance.; Restrict logon access to infrastructure hosting Data Store..
