Analysis of the Oracle October 2006 Critical Patch Update



Hey all,
I've just posted an analysis of the 22 Oracle RDBMS flaws patched by the October 2006 Critical Patch Update that was released yesterday: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuoct2006.html. Further, it's a shame to see that, after a promising July 2006 CPU where Oracle had all the patches ready *on time*, they have slipped back into their old, bad habits - patches are not ready for a number of platforms. I thought they'd solved those issues - but clearly not. You can get a copy of the analysis from http://www.databasesecurity.com/oracle/OracleOct2006-CPU-Analysis.pdf,
Cheers,
David Litchfield
