Hey all, I've just put up a paper detailing a new method of exploiting PL/SQL injection flaws in Oracle and potential ways to protect against it. The method entirely removes the requirement for an attacker to create functions to be able to execute arbitrary sql. This should finally put to bed those arguments about whether such and such a PL/SQL injection flaw is exploitable in practice or not by a user with only the CREATE SESSION system privilege. They all are. For anyone going to Blackhat Federal, this'll form part of my talk. For anyone that wants, you can get a copy of the paper from http://www.databasesecurity.com/ - it's called "Cursor Injection - A New Method for Exploiting PL/SQL Injection and Potential Defences".
