Thanks for all the replies...I'm wading through them!
One more question...Do I always need to specify the full path of a Unix
command e.g /usr/bin/mv rather then just mv
That is something I don't currently need to do when using an external
procedure.

Our Unix guys create 'safe' versions of normal utilities and installed them in a
special folder. So, we use the full path to invoke them from *that* folder. Some
commands get logged to audit files. I'd say, yeah, specify full path, you don't loose
much (well some electrons, but who cares).

Here is a adoption for running the ls command ... be very careful with suspriv
command, it is very powerful privilege. One could replace ls with rm and then you are
doomed if oracle is running as root.
grant javasyspriv to system
/
create or replace type fileList as table of varchar2(255)

It really isn't that much of a hassle once you have Java itself setup.
I have a problem with the lack of security placed on the Java code from the
oracle-base.com article though. What we did (are in the process of doing)
is to restrict execute access to a single directory that we create and
Dick, harsh words, hmmm? Powerful tools can also be powerful weapons in the wrong
hands. But don't blame the toolmaker.
John, the reason that running an OS command is such a hassle is that it can be
horribly destructive to your server. An OS command that runs from a Java Stored
Procedure
will it catch following command apart from rm -rf ???
find /var/opt/oracle/logs -mtime +1 -type f -name *.trc|perl -nle unlink
Probably not ... and that's why it is dangerous ... basically you should have a set
of fixed programs that can be called and accept only arguments from calling
By default, no user accounts in the Oracle DB have any privs to do anything
to the OS. Privs -- including privs to execute, read, and write OS files --
must explicitly be granted (and rightly so!).
Do not grant the JAVASYSPRIV or JAVAUSERPRIV to the schema that will own the
ExecOS Java code, as
Mladen Gogala scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:
That wouldn't do much harm since it's relatively static and probably
frequently backed up. Restoring $ORACLE_HOME would be an easy
excercise. Now passing datafiles or copying /etc/motd onto
/oradata/SID/system01.dbf would cause much more
No, but it disallows command chains - only single commands are permitted. If you want
to run more than one command you have to write it as a shell script, and the full path
to that shell script must be approved for the current user in the PRODUCT_PROFILE
table. Normally, we will only allow
19 matches
