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.
