platforms.
A buffer overflow exists in the FNDWRR program allowing an attacker to
potentially gain control of the process and execute arbitrary code on the

and an overly long URL.

Oracle has released patches for Oracle Applications 11.0 and 11i to correct
this vulnerability. Oracle has fixed the buffer overflow in the FNDWRR
executable and related libraries.

and apply the above patch during the next maintenance cycle. Customers with
Internet facing application servers should apply the patch immediately.
