        Supported versions that are affected are 6.0.1.0 and
        12.0.1.0-12.0.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low
        privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle
        Communications Network Charging and Control executes to compromise
        Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control. Successful
        attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to
        cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle
        Communications Network Charging and Control.
         Affects:
         o Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control 6.0.1.0,
           12.0.1.0-12.0.4.0
        
        CVE-2020-11987

        exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with
        network access via TCP/IP to compromise Oracle Communications Offline
        Mediation Controller. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can
        result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of
        Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller accessible data.
         Affects:
         o Oracle Communications Offline Mediation Controller 12.0.0.3.0


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]
