A lot of people running Oracle on WINDOWS.
They simply do not know about the posibility to compile own httpd with
SSL library.

It was too long ago that an SSL problem was announced also dealing with the HTTP server. The attack vector employs iSQL is that only available through the "database" HTTP server or can it be run via iAS.

> If all of these circumstances are met, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue via a malicious link containing arbitrary HTML and script code as part of the hostname. When the malicious link is clicked by an unsuspecting user, the attacker-supplied HTML and script code will be executed by their web client. This will occur because the server will echo back the malicious hostname supplied in the client's request, without sufficiently escaping HTML and script code.
