        Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in :
         o Engineered Systems Utilities, versions 12.1.0.2, 19c, 21c
        [1]


IMPACT

        The vendor has provided the following information regarding the
        vulnerabilities:
        
        "This Critical Patch Update contains 1 new security patch for Oracle
        Autonomous Health Framework. This vulnerability is not remotely
        exploitable without authentication, i.e., may not be exploited over a
        network without requiring user credentials." [1]
        
        CVE-2021-2464
          7.8 AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
        Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.0.2, 19c and 21c.
        Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker
        having Local Logon privilege with logon to the infrastructure where
        the affected system executes to compromise the affected system.
        Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of
        the affected system.
         Affects:
         o Engineered Systems Utilities 12.1.0.2, 19c, 21c


MITIGATION

        Oracle states:
        
        "Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly
        recommends that customers apply CPU fixes as soon as possible. Until
        you apply the CPU fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of
        successful attack by blocking network protocols required by an
        attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to
        certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access
        the packages from users that do not need the privileges may help
        reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break
        application functionality, so Oracle strongly recommends that
        customers test changes on non-production systems. Neither approach
        should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the
        underlying problem." [1]
