Does the password being attempted contain any special characters? If yes, try
enclosing the password in double quotes and see if the same error occurs or not?
Is the environment Standard Ed or EE? RAC or non-RAC? Password file in use or
not?

Subject: July PSU Issue
We’ve installed the July PSU and have been testing and found the following
issue:
When attempting to change the sys password, it generates an ORA-07445:
SQL> alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Process ID: 15559
Session ID: 263 Serial number: 7056
In the alert log, I see:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [__intel_ssse3_rep_memcpy()+9660]
[SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x1C] [PC:0x6F3861C] [Address not mapped to object] []
I am trying to create an SR, but it keeps returning an error 504, so I can’t
get that done, either.
Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix or workaround? We have production
patching scheduled for Saturday morning, so this is urgent.
This is 19c (19.12.0.0) on Red Hat 7.
