CVE-2017-10265 — Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager Firmware security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.5

Vulnerability in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: System Management). The supported version that is affected is Prior to 3.2.6. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
