-- From David Litchfield on BugTraq -------------------------------------------------------- Hey all, I've just posted an analysis of the 22 Oracle RDBMS flaws patched by the October 2006 Critical Patch Update that was released yesterday: http://www.oracle .com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuoct2006.html. Further, it's a shame to see that, after a promising July 2006 CPU where Oracle had all the patches ready *on time*, they have slipped back into their old, bad habits - patches are not ready for a number of platforms. I thought they'd solved those issues - but clearly not. You can get a copy of the analysis from http://www.databasesecurity.com/oracle/OracleOct2006-CPU-Analysis.pdf, Cheers, David Litchfield NGSSoftware Ltd http://www.ngssoftware.com/ +44(0) 208 401 0070 -------------------------------------------------------- -- Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist
