Official Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in Oracle 9i Application Server Web Cache 9.0.4.0.0, 9.0.3.1.0, 9.0.2.3.0, and 9.0.0.4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long HTTP request method header to the Web Cache listener. NOTE: due to the vagueness of the Oracle advisory, it is not clear whether there are additional issues besides this overflow, although the advisory alludes to multiple "vulnerabilities."

Technical Analysis

CVE-2004-0385 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
