Oracle 9iAS soapdocs Directory Remote Information Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 11223

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by an information disclosure issue.

Description

It is possible to access the Oracle 9iAS Application Server's SOAP documentation directory, which contain the install scripts used with the default SOAP install. These files might be useful for an attacker to determine which application server is in use as well as the name of the disk where Oracle is installed.

Note that the default installation of Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2 does not seem to suffer this issue.

Solution

Remove the 'soapdocs' alias from the Oracle 9iAS 'http.conf'.
