Researcher Bares Oracle Zero-Day Flaw at Black Hat

Ryan Naraine writes on eWeek:

In a rare departure from his company's policy of withholding technical details on unpatched vulnerabilities, Litchfield provided a blow-by-blow demonstration of an exploit that could be used to gain full database administrator control of the back-end database server.
