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.
-
Locate Oracle Outside In Image Export SDK installationSearch for files or directories named 'Outside In' or 'Image Export SDK' on the system. Check common Oracle product installation paths such as $ORACLE_HOME, C:\Oracle\, or /opt/oracle/. Look for subdirectories containing 'oitechnolog' or 'imageexport'.Affected if The Image Export SDK component is found on the system.
-
Identify Image Export SDK versionExamine version information in SDK documentation, readme files, or version manifests within the installed Image Export SDK directory. Check for file version properties on core DLLs such as oswvs.dll, vswrw.dll, or the specific Image Export DLL if identifiable.Affected if The installed version is 8.3.5.0 or 8.3.7.0.
-
Verify Image Export functionality is enabledDetermine if any application or service is configured to use the Image Export SDK functionality. Review application configurations that reference Outside In Technology or the image export feature. Check for active processes or services that utilize this SDK component.Affected if The Image Export SDK is actively loaded or utilized by any application on the system.
A user is affected if the Oracle Outside In Image Export SDK version 8.3.5.0 or 8.3.7.0 is installed and the Image Export functionality is in use by any application or service.
