DYNAMIC_REGISTRATION_<listener> is a part of listener feature changes 
(including COST) that were added to 10.2.0.3 (from what I've read) and above 
but not included in the doc under 11g.

Thanks Carol, but the dynamic_registration_listener_name parameter appears to 
be undocumented in 10g (as far as I could tell) and therefore may not be fully 
supported.  I found it here in the 11.2 doc:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e10835/listener.htm#BGBCEJHE

But, couldn't find it anywhere in the 10.2 doc.  I also found MOS doc 130574.1, 
which suggests using the dynamic_registration_listener_name parameter only in 
11g and up and says that dynamic registration "can't be disabled in versions 
10g and lower from the listener side".  I haven't tested it myself yet, but 
from your info below, it sounds like the parameter does work in 10g, or are 
your 10g databases only using 11g listeners?

Thanks,
Brandon

All,
*THE FOLLOWING IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR RAC* - only single instance Oracle 
databases

This is what we are doing to protect our 10g and 11g versions of the listener 
before we can apply the workaround described in the CVE_2012_1675.

Directions=

1) Save listener.ora file to listener.ora.OLD1
2) Edit the listener.ora file by putting in 
DYNAMIC_REGISTRATION_<NAME_OF_LISTENER> = OFF
