CVE-2013-3776
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 Oracle Outside In Technology component in Oracle Fusion Middleware 8.3.7, 8.4.0, and 8.4.1 allows context-dependent attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Outside In Filters, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-3781.
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 confidenceOracle Outside In Technology (a document filtering SDK) contains an unspecified vulnerability in versions 8.3.7, 8.4.0, and 8.4.1 within the Outside In Filters component. The vulnerability allows context-dependent attackers to impact system availability, likely through malformed document processing that causes the filter to crash or become unresponsive.

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 Fusion Middleware installation and versionLocate the Oracle Fusion Middleware installation directory and check for version files or use Oracle inventory commands (such as 'opatch lsinventory' or checking version.info in the middleware home directory) to determine the exact installed versionAffected if The installed version matches 8.3.7.0, 8.4, or 8.4.1 exactly
-
Locate Outside In Technology installation directorySearch for the Outside In Technology components within the Oracle Fusion Middleware installation, typically found under the 'oracle_common' or 'oc4j' directories, or search for directories or files containing 'outsidein' or 'stellent' in the nameAffected if The Outside In Filters component is present in the installation
-
Verify Outside In Filters component versionCheck the version of the Outside In Filters module by examining version information in the filter files, library files, or associated configuration within the Outside In Technology directoryAffected if The Outside In Filters version corresponds to the vulnerable Oracle Fusion Middleware versions (8.3.7, 8.4.0, or 8.4.1)
-
Confirm document processing is enabledReview Oracle Fusion Middleware configuration to determine if the Outside In document filtering feature is actively enabled for processing incoming documents (check relevant configuration files in the middleware home that control filter behavior)Affected if The Outside In Filters are configured to process documents in any capacity
A user is affected if they have Oracle Fusion Middleware version 8.3.7.0, 8.4, or 8.4.1 installed with the Outside In Technology Filters component present and enabled for document processing.
