Vulnerability discussion

Oracle Node Manager is the utility that is used to perform common operational tasks for OHS.For connections to be made to the Node Manager, it must listen on an assigned address. When this parameter is not set, the Node Manager will listen on all available addresses on the server. This may lead to the Node Manager listening on networks, i.e., public network space, where Node Manager may become susceptible to attack instead of being limited to listening for connections on a controlled and secure management network. It is also important that the address specified matches the CN of the Node Manager.

Check content

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties with an editor. 2. Search for the "ListenAddress" property. 3. If the property does not exist or is not set to the CN of the Node Manager certificate, this is a finding.

Fix text

1. Open $DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties with an editor. 2. Search for the "ListenAddress" property. 3. Set the "ListenAddress" property to the CN of the Node Manager certificate, add the property if it does not exist.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
