Vulnerability Spotlight: Oracle's Outside In Technology, Turned Inside-Out

Summary: Cisco Talos disclosed eighteen additional Oracle Outside In Technology vulnerabilities, following an OIT arbitrary code execution bug Oracle patched in April. Because third-party products use OIT to parse and transform files, Talos confirmed that Microsoft Exchange 2013 and earlier can be exploited through WebReady Document Viewing or Data Loss Prevention, and Avira AntiVir for Exchange (v12.0.2775.0 and earlier) can be triggered by simply sending or receiving a malicious email.

What's compelling: The bugs sit in a parsing SDK embedded across security and messaging products, and Talos confirmed exploitation paths in Exchange and Avira AntiVir for Exchange - so an attachment can trigger code before a user does anything beyond receiving mail.
