Oracle 10g Database Server, when installed with a password that contains an exclamation point ("!") for the (1) DBSNMP or (2) SYSMAN user, generates an error that logs the password in the world-readable postDBCreation.log file, which could allow local users to obtain that password and use it against SYS or SYSTEM accounts, which may have been installed with the same password.
The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
