This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Oracle 9i Webcache server. Unauthenticated attackers can send a malformed URL to overwrite arbitrary files on the server. Note: Patches are available.
Oracle Application Server 9i Webcache is prone to an arbitrary file corruption vulnerability. The issue exists becaue dangerous characters are not removed from a certain parameter value, allowing an attacker to construct a URI that contains an absolute path to any target file. If this URI is followed by a user with sufficient privileges, garbage data is appended to the end of the specified file.
