RE: Question on Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2012-1675

However, RAC customers who were previously not licensed for Oracle Advanced Security need not be concerned about a licensing restriction as Oracle has updated its licensing to allow these customers a restricted use of these features (namely SSL and TLS) to protect themselves against vulnerability CVE-2012-1675.

Hi,
if I am reading Note 1340831.1 correctly, in order to secure the communication
between pmon and the scan listeners, we'll need to use SSL.

There is a note about _licensing changes_:

Please refer to the Oracle licensing documentation available on Oracle.com regarding licensing changes that allow Oracle Advanced Security SSL/TLS to be used with Oracle SE Oracle Real Application Clusters and Oracle Enterprise Edition Real Application Customers (Oracle RAC) and Oracle RAC OneNode Options.

I am trying to understand if we need to buy the Advanced Security option in order to fix the issue (I hope we don't ...).

Can anybody throw some light on this?

Thanks
Dimitre
