Title:Oracle 9iAS SOAP Default Configuration Vulnerability (HTTP)
Summary:In a default installation of Oracle 9iAS v.1.0.2.2, it is possible to; deploy or undeploy SOAP services without the need of any kind of credentials.
Description:Summary:
In a default installation of Oracle 9iAS v.1.0.2.2, it is possible to
deploy or undeploy SOAP services without the need of any kind of credentials.

Vulnerability Insight:
This is due to SOAP being enabled by default after installation in
order to provide a convenient way to use SOAP samples. However, this feature poses a threat to HTTP
servers with public access since remote attackers can create soap services and then invoke them remotely.
Since SOAP services can contain arbitrary Java code in Oracle 9iAS this means that an attacker can
execute arbitrary code in the remote server.

Solution:
Disable SOAP or the deploy/undeploy feature by editing:

$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserver/etc/jserv.conf

and removing/commenting the following four lines:

ApJServGroup group2 1 1 $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jservSoap.properties

ApJServMount /soap/servlet ajpv12://localhost:8200/soap

ApJServMount /dms2 ajpv12://localhost:8200/soap

ApJServGroupMount /soap/servlet balance://group2/soap

Note that the port number might be different from 8200. Also, you will need to change in the file:

$ORACLE_HOME/soap/werbapps/soap/WEB-INF/config/soapConfig.xml:
