CVE-2012-3133
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.

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 Hyperion Interactive Reporting versionCheck the product installation directory for version information, typically in registry keys or installation logs under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Interactive Reporting or in the product's About dialogAffected if Version equals 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2
-
Identify Oracle Essbase Server versionQuery the Essbase OLAP server version using ESSCMD, MaxL, or check the Oracle Enterprise Manager console for the installed Essbase versionAffected if Version equals 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2
-
Identify Oracle Hyperion Production Reporting Server versionCheck the Production Reporting installation directory or registry for version details, typically under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions\Production ReportingAffected if Version equals 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2
-
Identify Oracle Integration Services Server versionCheck the Integration Services installation directory or registry for version information under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\Integration ServicesAffected if Version equals 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2
-
Identify DataDirect ODBC driver version in useCheck the ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe) on the affected server for installed DataDirect ODBC drivers, or locate the DataDirect driver DLL files (like ddora11.dll) and check their file properties for version infoAffected if DataDirect ODBC driver version is bundled with or matches the vulnerable product versions 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2
You are affected if any of these four Oracle products (Hyperion Interactive Reporting, Essbase Server, Production Reporting Server, or Integration Services Server) are installed at version 11.1.2.1 or 11.1.2.2 and are using the bundled DataDirect ODBC driver.
