I created a new database from scratch and was able to change the sys password. I have not been able to change it on any database that already existed and was patched from 19.11 to 19.12.

Hey Scott,

We will be deploying the July 19c patch set next weekend so I whipped up a database and applied the patchset to it.

No issues changing SYS. I tried with and without special characters.

SQL*Plus: Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production on Tue Aug 10 16:26:15 2021 Version 19.12.0.0.0

Copyright (c) 1982, 2021, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production Version 19.12.0.0.0

SQL> alter user sys identified by ################;

User altered.

SQL> alter user sys identified by ################;

User altered.

And the database is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)

Please keep us informed as I am curious...

Thanks,
Chris

We've installed the July PSU and have been testing and found the following issue:

When attempting to change the sys password, it generates an ORA-07445:

SQL> alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel Process ID: 15559
Session ID: 263 Serial number: 7056

In the alert log, I see:

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [__intel_ssse3_rep_memcpy()+9660] [SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x1C] [PC:0x6F3861C] [Address not mapped to object] []

I am trying to create an SR, but it keeps returning an error 504, so I can't get that done, either.

Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix or workaround? We have production patching scheduled for Saturday morning, so this is urgent.

This is 19c (19.12.0.0) on Red Hat 7.
