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.
-
Verify Oracle E-Business Suite versionLog into Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) or run the SQL query SELECT release_name FROM apps.fnd_product_groups; against the APPS schema to retrieve the EBS release version.Affected if The version returned is exactly 11.5.10.2 (CU2).
-
Confirm Human Resources module is installedQuery the database: SELECT application_id, application_name FROM apps.fnd_application WHERE application_name LIKE '%Human%'; or check through OAM under Application Modules.Affected if The Human Resources application module is installed or enabled in the EBS environment.
-
Check Self Service web modules statusNavigate to Oracle Applications Manager > Site Map > Application Modules > Self Service Infrastructure, or query fnd_installed_forms to identify if Self Service HTML components are configured.Affected if Self Service - Common Modules (also known as Self Service HTML) are configured or enabled in the instance.

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 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) patches for January 2016 or later. For Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, Oracle extended support ended in 2014; consider upgrading to Oracle EBS 12.1 or 12.2 as a long-term solution.
