CVE-2013-1534
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 Workload Manager component in Oracle Database Server 11.2.0.2 and 11.2.0.3, when used in RAC configurations, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors.
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 confidenceUnspecified vulnerability in Oracle Workload Manager component affecting Database Server versions 11.2.0.2 and 11.2.0.3 when deployed in RAC (Real Application Clusters) configurations. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to achieve complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors.

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 Database versionQuery the database by executing: SELECT * FROM v$version WHERE banner LIKE 'Oracle Database%'; or check /etc/oratab, or run 'sqlplus / as sysdba' and query PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSIONAffected if The displayed version is exactly 11.2.0.2 or exactly 11.2.0.3
-
Confirm RAC configurationRun 'crsctl query crs activeversion' or 'srvctl config database -d <db_unique_name>' to check if the database is deployed in Real Application Clusters modeAffected if The environment is configured as a RAC (Real Application Clusters) deployment
-
Verify Oracle Workload Manager componentQuery SELECT comp_name, version FROM dba_registry WHERE comp_name LIKE '%Workload%'; or check ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml for the Workload Manager componentAffected if Oracle Workload Manager component is installed and registered in the database

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.
dbcve · scopedApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2013 or later, or upgrade to a supported Oracle Database version. For RAC environments, patching requires coordinated maintenance windows with proper cluster rolling upgrade procedures.
Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 or later
- 1. Upgrade Oracle Database Server from version 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 to version 11.2.0.4 or later.
- 2. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, apply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for April 2013 or later that addresses CVE-2013-1534.
- 3. For RAC configurations specifically, ensure all nodes in the cluster are upgraded or patched consistently.
- 4. After applying the upgrade or patch, validate the Workload Manager component functions correctly in the RAC environment.
- 5. Test the fix in a non-production environment before deploying to production.
