CVE-2010-4449
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 · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in the Audit Vault component in Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3.2 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the January 2011 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a reliable third party coordinator that this issue is related to a crafted parameter in an action.execute request to the av component on TCP port 5700.
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 confidenceRemote code execution vulnerability in Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3.2 in the action.execute functionality on TCP port 5700. Allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted parameters in requests, achieving complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Oracle Audit Vault installationLocate Oracle Audit Vault binaries, services, or documentation on the system to confirm the product is installed.Affected if Oracle Audit Vault is present on the system.
-
Check installed versionUse Oracle tooling or check version files to determine the exact version of Oracle Audit Vault installed.Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.2.3.2.
-
Verify TCP port 5700 is listeningUse netstat, nmap, or similar network scanning tools to check if the system is listening on TCP port 5700.Affected if Port 5700 is open and accepting connections.
-
Confirm action.execute functionality is accessibleDetermine whether the action.execute functionality is enabled and accessible on the network-facing service.Affected if The action.execute feature is exposed and reachable via the network.
A system is affected if Oracle Audit Vault version 10.2.3.2 is installed, TCP port 5700 is exposed, and the action.execute functionality is accessible on that port.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict network access to TCP port 5700 to minimize attack surface and apply the January 2011 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for Audit Vault 10.2.3.2.
