OVERVIEW
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in
Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD), version 5.3
Oracle VM VirtualBox, versions prior to 5.1.30
[1]
IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following information regarding
to the vulnerabilities:
"This Critical Patch Update contains 6 new security fixes for
Oracle Virtualization. 2 of these vulnerabilities may be
remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be
exploited over a network without requiring user credentials."

"CVE-2017-3167
7.4
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
The supported version that is affected is 5.3. Difficult to
exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Secure Global
Desktop (SGD). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can
result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete
access to all Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD) accessible
data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently
repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Secure Global
Desktop (SGD).
CVE-2017-10392
7.3
AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:H
The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.30.
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged
attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM
VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox.
While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks
may significantly impact additional products. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as
unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of
Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized read
access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
CVE-2017-10407
7.3
AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:H
The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.30.
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged
attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM
VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox.
While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks
may significantly impact additional products. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as
unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of
Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized read
access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
CVE-2017-10408
7.3
AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:H
The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.30.
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged
attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM
VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox.
While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks
may significantly impact additional products. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash
(complete DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox as well as
unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of
Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data and unauthorized read
access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
CVE-2017-3733
5.9
AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.30.
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated
attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Oracle VM
VirtualBox. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can
result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete
access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data.
CVE-2017-10428
5.0
AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L
The supported version that is affected is Prior to 5.1.30.
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows high privileged
attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM
VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox.
While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks
may significantly impact additional products. Successful
attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle VM
VirtualBox accessible data as well as unauthorized read
access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data
and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of
service (partial DOS) of Oracle VM VirtualBox."

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]
