There is a recent case whereby it was reported that one of the production servers was hacked on port 1521. However, I am not sure how this was possible, as I checked that the OS firewall (iptables) is on :
Code:
[root@fmsproddb satellite]# /etc/init.d/iptables status
Table: nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Port 1521 not open :
Code:
[root@fmsproddb satellite]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 23 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
-A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
[root@fmsproddb satellite]#
I assume it is listening because the application is turned on, and thus the service related to port 1521 turned on and that is why it is listening on this port?
Even if the network firewall (physical) is open, if the iptables is running in the server, it should not allow port 1521 to be open/listening?
I can't think of any other way how people can hack the server on port 1521. Please help clear my doubt.
