Description
The Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS) enables application developers, support analysts, system administrators, and others to measure application specific performance information. If OHS allows any machine to connect and monitor performance, an attacker could connect and gather information that could be used to cause a DoS for OHS. Information that is shared could also be used to further an attack to other servers and devices through trusted relationships.
