Oracle9iAS Web Cache Multiple Periods Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Oracle9iAS Web Cache is a web caching solution for Oracle 9iAS Application Server, providing quick retrieval of dynamic web content.

It is possible for a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by making a request, via TCP port 4000, containing an excessive number of periods ('.'). This will cause the Web Cache admin service to shut down, requiring a manual restart to regain normal functionality.
