Description:
A denial of service vulnerability was reported in the Oracle database server. A remote user can cause the Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) listener to crash and no longer accept connections.
It is reported that a remote user can send a single TCP packet (#$00 = 1 byte) to the TNS listener on port 1521 to cause CPU utilization to reach 100%. No further connections will be accepted, according to the report.
It is reported that the TNSLISTEN process must be restarted in order for the server to return to normal operations.
The author of the report has provided a Win32 binary (Shadow DoS Analyzer) to test the vulnerability, available at:
