Oracle Database Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

Oracle Database is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability that remote attackers may exploit prior to authentication.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to consume excessive CPU resources, denying service to legitimate users.

NOTE: This issue was previously documented in BID 26039 (Oracle October 2007 Critical Patch Update Multiple Vulnerabilities) and has been given its own BID because further technical details are now available.
