Loading vulnerability…
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) Listener component of Oracle 8i version 8.1.7 and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker sends an overly long argument to specific TNS Listener commands, including STATUS, PING, SERVICES, TRC_FILE, SAVE_CONFIG, or RELOAD. This can result in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the TNS Listener process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2001-0499) in the Oracle 8i TNS Listener service (version 8.1.7.0.0) on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted packet with an overly long ARGUMENTS string to the TNS service on TCP port 1521, resulting in arbitrary code execution if successful. The module allows the attacker to specify a payload, which is delivered and executed on the target system. The code includes a check method to verify the target version and an exploit method that constructs and sends the malicious packet. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the default Oracle TNS Listener port (1521/tcp). The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and its purpose is to provide a remote exploit for this specific Oracle vulnerability.
