Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

process SYS.LT.COMPRESSWORKSPACE↗

• → Monitor for SQL injection attempts targeting the COMPRESSWORKSPACE procedure within the SYS.LT (or WMSYS.LT) PL/SQL package in Oracle Database. ↗
• → Flag any remote authenticated Oracle DB user executing SYS.LT or WMSYS.LT procedures, particularly COMPRESSWORKSPACE, as this is the attack surface for CVE-2008-3982. ↗

• · The vulnerability affects Oracle Database versions 9.2.0.8, 9.2.0.8DV, 10.1.0.5, 10.2.0.3, and 11.1.0.6 — scope detection rules to these specific versions. ↗
• · Both SYS.LT and WMSYS.LT are listed as affected packages; detection and privilege auditing should cover both synonyms. ↗
• · Exploitation requires only a remote authenticated user with EXECUTE privilege on the vulnerable package — low privilege bar means broad user population may be at risk. ↗
