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
Format string vulnerability in the logging function in the Oracle OPMN daemon, as used on Oracle Enterprise Grid Console server 10.2.0.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the URI in an HTTP request to port 6003, aka Oracle reference number 6296175. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2007-0282 or CVE-2007-0280, but there are insufficient details to be sure.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c or later (migration from deprecated Application Server 10g)

  1. 1. Identify all systems running Oracle OPMN daemon or Oracle Enterprise Grid Console Server 10.2.0.1
  2. 2. Verify if port 6003 (OPMN default HTTP port) is exposed externally; if so, restrict network access immediately to reduce exposure
  3. 3. Oracle Application Server 10g (10.2.0.1) is End of Life; migrate to a supported Oracle Fusion Middleware version or alternative solution
  4. 4. If migration is not immediately feasible, disable the OPMN HTTP daemon or block port 6003 at the firewall
  5. 5. Apply any historical Oracle Critical Patch Updates from 2007-2008 if available through Oracle support (note: likely out of support)
  6. 6. After migration/upgrading, verify the format string vulnerability is no longer present
Caveat Full migration from Oracle Application Server 10g to Fusion Middleware 12c+ involves architectural changes; OPMN was deprecated and replaced with Oracle Fusion Middleware's own process management
