Description:
Knud Erik Højgaard has reported a security issue in Oracle Database 10g, allowing malicious users to manipulate temporary files.
The problem is that certain files placed in "/tmp" are created using 777 permissions. This may allow malicious users to manipulate files during installation.
This has been reported in version 10g. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Do not install the product on a system with untrusted users.
