Oracle Outside In contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the OS/2 Metafile parser, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
Oracle Outside In is a set of libraries that can decode over 500 different file formats. Originally written by Stellent, Outside In is now part of Oracle. The Oracle Outside In libraries are used by a variety of applications, including Microsoft Exchange, Google Search Appliance, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Guidance Encase Forensics, AccessData FTK, and Novell Groupwise.
The Outside In library for processing OS/2 Metafile data contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-121). On Microsoft Windows platforms, this capability is provided by the library immet2.flt
. Versions older than 8.4.0.108 are affected.
By causing an application to process a specially-crafted file with the Oracle Outside In library, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable application. Depending on what application is using Outside In, this may happen as the result of some user interaction, such as single-clicking on a file, or it may happen with no user interaction at all.
Apply an update
This vulnerability is addressed in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Critical Patch Update - October 2013. This update provides versions 8.4.0.108 of the OS/2 Metafile parsing library. Note that Oracle has indicated that Outside In versions older than 8.4.0 are no longer supported. Please also consider the following workarounds.
Use the Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit
The Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) can be used to help prevent exploitation of this and other vulnerabilities.
Enable DEP in Microsoft Windows
Consider enabling Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in supported versions of Windows. DEP should not be treated as a complete workaround, but it can mitigate the execution of attacker-supplied code in some cases. Microsoft has published detailed technical information about DEP in Security Research & Defense blog posts βUnderstanding DEP as a mitigation technologyβ part 1 and part 2. DEP should be used in conjunction with the application of patches or other mitigations described in this document.
Note that when relying on DEP for exploit mitigation, it is important to use a system that supports Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) as well. ASLR is not supported by Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 or earlier. ASLR was introduced with Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Please see the Microsoft SRD blog entry: On the effectiveness of DEP and ASLR for more details.

Good Technology no longer uses the Oracle Outside In
product, as of version 6.0.3.52 of the Good Mobile Messaging Server. Running
the Good Mobile Messaging Server (GMMS) does not expose any risk to the
user, as the GMMS does not make any calls to the Outside In software, thus
the Outside In application is never executed by GMMS.
