Oracle Database Server PITRIG_DROPMETADATA Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Oracle Database Server is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the database account. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
