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 · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD) component in Oracle Virtualization SGD before 4.63 with December 2013 PSU, 4.71, 5.0 with December 2013 PSU, and 5.10 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Administration Console and Workspace Web Applications.

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 · low confidence

This is an unspecified remote vulnerability in Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD) affecting the Administration Console and Workspace Web Applications. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though the exact attack vector and technical details are not disclosed. Affected versions include SGD before 4.63 with December 2013 PSU, 4.71, 5.0 with December 2013 PSU, and 5.10.

MitigationApply the appropriate Oracle SGD patch (4.63 with December 2013 PSU or later) to address this vulnerability. Organizations should review the Oracle Critical Patch Update advisories for complete remediation details.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Oracle SGD is installed
    Check for Oracle SGD installation directories (commonly /opt/SUNWsgd or /var/opt/sgd) or look for SGD processes running (ps -ef | grep -i sgd)
    Affected if Oracle SGD software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed SGD version
    Check the SGD version file typically located in the installation directory (e.g., /opt/SUNWsgd/version or /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella version) or use the SGD administration command (ssad -version)
    Affected if Version matches 4.63, 4.71, 5.0, or 5.10 without December 2013 PSU applied, or is earlier than 4.63
  3. Verify Administration Console status
    Check if the Administration Console web interface is enabled and accessible. Inspect SGD configuration files (typically in /opt/SUNWsgd/admin/conf or via the SGD admin web interface at port 443/admin)
    Affected if Administration Console is enabled and exposed to network
  4. Verify Workspace Web Applications status
    Check if Workspace Web Applications are enabled in the SGD configuration. Inspect the web container configuration or access the Workspace URL (typically port 443/workspace)
    Affected if Workspace Web Applications are enabled and accessible remotely
  5. Check network exposure of SGD web interfaces
    Review firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or SGD network settings to determine if Administration Console and Workspace are accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if Web interfaces are accessible from remote/untrusted networks

A user is affected if Oracle SGD is installed and the version is 4.63, 4.71, 5.0, or 5.10 (or any version earlier than 4.63 with December 2013 PSU) with Administration Console or Workspace Web Applications enabled and network-accessible.
