Hey all,
I see that the much-touted Super Secret Security patch #68 is out.  The 
description is extremely vague -- too vague for me to assess our liability.  
Anyone know of where I can find out technical details about this?  I understand 
that Oracle does not want to publish the exact methods of breaking the 
Unbreakable, but there's a big difference between an internal Joe Nonothing 
end-user that wants to workaround having MS Access taken away from them and an 
external black hat hacker who can craft some C++ code to exploit the hole(s).

Anyone?

Rich
