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. Confirm Oracle Secure Backup installation
    Identify if Oracle Secure Backup software is present on the system by checking for its installation directory or running process
    Affected if Oracle Secure Backup is not installed on the system
  2. Verify installed version
    Determine the exact version of Oracle Secure Backup installed using system inventory tools, package managers, or Oracle-specific version reporting commands
    Affected if The installed version is 10.3.0.2 exactly
  3. Check mod_ssl component presence
    Determine whether the mod_ssl module is loaded or present in the Oracle Secure Backup installation
    Affected if mod_ssl is present and enabled in the Oracle Secure Backup configuration
  4. Validate network exposure
    Review network configuration to determine if the Oracle Secure Backup web server (which uses mod_ssl) is accessible over the network
    Affected if The Oracle Secure Backup web interface is network-accessible

The environment is affected if Oracle Secure Backup version 10.3.0.2 is installed with the mod_ssl component enabled and network-accessible, matching the exact version specified in the CVE.
