Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Spatial component in Oracle Database 10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality and integrity via unknown vectors. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the January 2009 CPU. Oracle has not commented on reliable researcher claims that this issue is a SQL injection vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to gain MDSYS privileges via the MDSYS.SDO_TOPO_DROP_FTBL trigger.

An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. The public collections list a Metasploit module and an Exploit-DB entry for it. A reference of the record is tagged as an exploit.
