Hi All!

This affects only the homes for any running listeners.

PSE's (patchset exceptions) 1489683, 1656431 and 1814117 were withdrawn so that they could be combined into a single PSE.

Listed below are the PSE place holder patch #'s for each of the different supported releases. Some PSE's are not yet available (e.g. 8.1.7.0), but when available they will be under the patch #'s listed below. The same patch # is used for all platforms on that release.

Version Patch #

8.1.7.1   1859604
8.1.7.0   1859628
8.1.6.3   1859654
8.1.6.2   1859778
8.1.6.1   1859788
8.1.6.0   1859791
8.0.6.3   TBA

To access the patches via MetaLink:

Patches
  Click on the flashing red link for new patches   Enter one of the above patch #'s
  If you want to limit your search to a specific platform then select it from the drop down list, otherwise all platforms will be shown
  Click on submit

        Scroll down to find the appropriate patch for your OS

Due to the nature of Windows NT/Windows 2000, PSE's are not available and require a full 5-digit patchset release. The 8.1.7.1.4 patchset will contain the fixes for PSE 1859604.

To access the 8.1.7.1.4 patchset, when it is available, from MetaLink:

Patches
  Click on the flashing red link for new patches

        Product:        RDBMS Server
        Release:        8.1.7.1 (if you select a release that is not
currently available, no patches will be found)
        Platform:       MS Windows NT/2000 Ser


If you applied one of the earlier PSE's, you don't have to deinstall it before applying one of the above PSE's.

The following alerts document the various listener bugs and their respective patches (same as the list above):

Note: 151259.1 "ALERT: Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in the Oracle8i Listener"

Note: 151260.1 "ALERT: Oracle SQL*Net and Net8 Malformed Packet Denial of Service Vulnerability"

Note: 151261.1 "Oracle Net8 Denial of Service Vulnerabilities - Offset_to_data Value Too Large"

Note: 151290.1 "Net8 Denial of Service Vulnerabilities - Requester_version Value Incorrect"

Note: 151291.1 "Net8 Denial of Service Vulnerabilities - Maximum Transport Data Size Too Small"

Note: 151292.1 "Oracle Net8 Denial of Service Vulnerabilities - Fragmentation Attack"
