One would think that if Oracle has the brains to document doing that,
that they would then modify their scripts to not do those grants in the

 One of our standard procedures is to revoke execute on some packages
from public, as recommended in the Database Administrator's Guide.  It's
page 715 of my copy (9i release 2).
  UTL_TCP is one of the packages that is recommended to revoke from
public, which would help to stop this worm.
