problem:      Information Disclosure
affected:     Oracle Reports Server
explanation: Oracle reports server happily reports an excessive amount of system information to unauthenticated remote users. Seems that
              someone likes verbose debugging. These variables include:

# PATH D:\ORACLE\iSuites\Apache\fastcg;D:\ORACLE\806\jdk\bin
              # ORACLE_HOME D:\ORACLE\806
              # REPORTS60_PATH D:\WEB_REPORTS
              # REPORTS60_TMP D:\ORACLE\806\REPORT60\TMP

              Also, rwcgi60 likes to make sure you know versions:
# Oracle Reports Server CGI60 version 6.0, a Win32 executable
              # Oracle_Web_Listener/4.0.7.0.0 Enterprise Edition

              Oh and don't forget the last few lines:
              # Stdin is empty.
              # CGI Command Line is used
              # main.argv[0] d:\oracle\806\tools\web60\cgi\rwcgi60.EXE

This level of information should not be given out to the public, someone could poke an eye out with that stuff. An attacker could
              use information gleaned from rwcgi60 to identify vulnerable
software, dev kits, etc installed on the system which could be
              used as points of entry.

risk: At this time rwcgi60 offers no more than excessive information
              disclosure so this is classified as a low risk exposure.

status:       Vendor was notified 07/09/02

exploit:      http://some.site.com/cgi-bin/rwcgi60
              http://some.site.com/cgi-bin/rwcgi60/showenv

fix: Configuration issue. See Oracle note 133957.1 - Restricting Access
              to the Reports Server Environment and Output.
