I am not sure how many people are using Oracle, but I received a security alert regarding Oracle 9i and thought I would post part of it here. There are some new buffor overflow security problems and here are the links for patches.
1. Administrators running Oracle 9i on Windows or VM should download and install patch number 2367681 from the Oracle Metalink Web site <http://metalink.oracle.com> (a login is necessary). You can find specific directions for downloading this patch in the "Patch Information" section of Oracle's advisory <http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/net9_dos_alert.pdf>. 2. Administrators running Oracle 9i Report Server on any platform should download and install patch number 2356680 from the Oracle Metalink Web site <http://metalink.oracle.com> (Again, login is necessary). You can find specific directions for downloading this patch in the "Patch Information" section of Oracle's advisory <http://otn.oracle.com/deploy/security/pdf/reports6i_alert.pdf>.
