Vulnerability Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on 
vulnerable installations of Oracle Beehive. Authentication is not required to 
exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within 'voice-servlet/prompt-qa/Index.jspf'. During 
the creation of a file used for storing an evaluation parameter user supplied 
data is used to create a filename and another user specified field is later 
used to populate that file's contents. By inserting a null byte (0x00) into 
the filename the user can control the extension of the newly created file. A 
remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code 
under the context of the oracle user.

Vendor Response
Oracle has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can
