CVE-2016-0491

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control versions 12.4.0.2 through 12.5.0.2

Description The issue affects the integrity and availability of the system, allowing remote attackers to exploit it via unknown vectors related to Load Testing for Web Apps. It is also claimed that the UploadFileAction servlet allows remote authenticated users to upload and execute arbitrary files by using an * (asterisk) character in the fileType parameter.

Recommendations For versions 12.4.0.2 and 12.5.0.2, consider restricting access to the UploadFileAction servlet to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the fileType parameter with an * (asterisk) character in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
