Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Single Sign-On component in Oracle Application Server 9.0.4.3, 10.1.2.0.2, and 10.1.2.1.0, Collaboration Suite 9.0.4.2 and 10.1.2, and Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications 11.5.10CU2 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors, aka Vuln# SSO01.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Migrate to Oracle Identity Management 11g or higher with Oracle Access Manager; for E-Business Suite, upgrade to EBS 12.2.x (currently supported)

  1. 1. Identify all Oracle Application Server, Collaboration Suite, and E-Business Suite instances running the affected versions (9.0.4.x, 10.1.2.x, 11.5.10CU2).
  2. 2. Oracle Single Sign-On 9.x and 10.x are end-of-life. Plan migration to Oracle Access Manager (OAM) or Oracle Identity Management.
  3. 3. For Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10, migrate to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.x or higher, which has modernized SSO using Oracle Access Manager.
  4. 4. Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) from October 2006 or later if staying on legacy versions temporarily - check Oracle Metalink/My Oracle Support for patch 6027086 (SSO01).
  5. 5. Implement network segmentation to limit exposure to the SSO component if immediate upgrade is not feasible.
Caveat Legacy Oracle SSO 9i/10g custom integrations may require re-architecture; EBS 11.5.10 is end-of-life and requires full upgrade path to 12.x
