CVE-2014-2482
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 Concurrent Processing component in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3, 12.2.2, and 12.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity 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 E-Business Suite Concurrent Processing component (versions 12.1.3, 12.2.2, 12.2.3) allows remote authenticated users to impact confidentiality and integrity through 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 E-Business Suite versionQuery the Oracle database: SELECT RELEASE_NAME FROM FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS WHERE ROWNUM=1; or check the context file in $INST_TOP/appl/admin/ context.xml for the variable s_web_agent or s_dbnodeAffected if The version returned equals 12.1.3, 12.2.2, or 12.2.3 exactly
-
Verify Concurrent Processing component is configuredQuery the Oracle database: SELECT COMPONENT_NAME FROM FND_CR_COMPONENTS WHERE COMPONENT_NAME LIKE '%Concurrent%'; or check Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) for active concurrent processing servicesAffected if Concurrent Processing component is installed and active in the E-Business Suite environment
-
Confirm remote access exposureCheck network configuration: review firewall rules, load balancer settings, or web server (Apache/OHS) configuration in $ORACLE_CONFIG_HOME/../OracleEBShttp_*.conf to determine if E-Business Suite ports (typically 8000-8090) are accessible from untrusted networksAffected if E-Business Suite web interfaces are exposed to network segments beyond trusted internal users
-
Check for authenticated user access vectorsReview the E-Business Suite responsibilities and user accounts configured in the system via SELECT RESPONSIBILITY_KEY, USER_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME FROM FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS_VL; to identify what concurrent programs are available to authenticated usersAffected if Authenticated user accounts exist with access to concurrent processing functionality
A user is affected if they are running exactly version 12.1.3, 12.2.2, or 12.2.3 of Oracle E-Business Suite with the Concurrent Processing component enabled and accessible to authenticated remote users.

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.
From vendor dataApply the relevant Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) for July 2014 or later E-Business Suite patches. Restrict network access to E-Business Suite portals to authenticated, authorized users only.
