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 the Config Management component in (1) Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 and (2) Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1966.

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.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Unspecified vulnerability in the Config Management component of Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 and Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors related to configuration settings.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) from 2009 or later that address this vulnerability, or upgrade to supported versions; restrict network access to database and Enterprise Manager interfaces to trusted authenticated users only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Oracle Database Server version
    Connect to the database and run SELECT * FROM v$version; or check the Oracle inventory file ($ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml)
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.1.0.7
  2. Check Oracle Enterprise Manager version
    Log into the Enterprise Manager console and navigate to Help > About, or check the OMS ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml file
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.2.0.4
  3. Verify Config Management component is accessible
    Check if Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) or the Config Management web interface is configured and reachable via the Oracle Enterprise Manager console
    Affected if The Config Management component is enabled and accessible to authenticated users
  4. Assess network exposure of database and OEM interfaces
    Review listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, and Oracle Enterprise Manager console accessibility settings to determine if ports 1521 (listener), 1158/5500 (OEM), or 4889 (OMS) are exposed beyond trusted networks
    Affected if Database or Enterprise Manager interfaces are accessible to untrusted or anonymous network users

The environment is affected if either Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 or Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.4 is running with the Config Management component accessible to remote authenticated users over the network.
