Oracle plans to fix dozens of flaws in its software products next Tuesday, including critical bugs in the company&#39;s database, e-business suite, and application server.In its first security update of 2008, Oracle will ship 27 security fixes, some of which will affect several products. Oracle outlined some details of the upcoming patches in a pre-release announcement posted to the company&#39;s Web site Thursday afternoon.Oracle releases security patches every three months, a process known as the Critical Patch Update (CPU). January&#39;s bug-fix total is low by Oracle&#39;s standards. In October, the company&#160;patched 51 vulnerabilities.As usual, the company&#39;s database will be a major focus of the CPU. Oracle plans to ship eight security fixes for the Oracle Database, addressing bugs in the software&#39;s advanced queuing, core RDBMS (relational database management system), Oracle Agent, Oracle Spatial, and XML (Extensible Markup Language) database software.None of the database vulnerabilities can be exploited over a network without the attacker first obtaining a username and password for the database.Oracle&#39;s next most-patched product will be the E-Business Suite, which will receive seven updates, three of which are for bugs that can be remotely exploited by attackers who do not have usernames or passwords for the system.The Oracle Application Server will get six bug-fixes, addressing flaws in components such as the product&#39;s BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), Worklist Application, Oracle Forms, and Oracle Internet Directory software.Finally, Oracle is planning four updates for its PeopleSoft and JD Edwards products, as well as one fix each for Oracle Enterprise Manager and the Oracle Collaboration Suite.

(InfoWorld) - The new DST (daylight-saving time) is drawing near. Do you think you're ready? Run down this checklist to be sure. 1. Do a datacenter inventory. You need to know exactly which applications and systems you have running so that you can locate appropriate patches and fixes. 2. Find out what needs to be patched. That could take some time. Fortunately, many of the big-name vendors have prepared (even if you haven't). Below is a list of DST resource sites for various companies. Most, if not all, include lists of solutions that will be affected. Apple BlackBerry Cisco Dell Hewlett-Packard IBM Microsoft McAfee Novell Oracle Palm Red Hat Sun Symantec Also be sure to update your JRE (Java Runtime Engine), as apps running on older versions of JRE may report incorrect times. Info is available here. If one of your vendors isn't listed above, check out their Web site or call their help desk as soon as possible and ask about DST patches. 3. Devise a game plan. Mission-critical, time-sensitive applications should take priority, but also consider software -- such as firewalls -- that isn't time sensitive but that feeds time-sensitive information to other programs, such as security event management products. 4. Deploy patches or, where necessary, manual fixes. Use your centralized software management toolbox such as Microsoft Systems Management Server or Novell ZenWork Patch Management (if you have one). Otherwise, you'll have a lot of manual patching to do. 5. Test your patches and fixes. Be certain you come up with proper times and dates. You also have to check that your applications are interacting properly. 6. Make sure your partners and service providers are prepared. Just because you've done your due diligence and updated your systems doesn't mean one of your critical suppliers, for example, has. 7. Schedule IT personnel to come in on March 11. Try as you might to prepare, it's entirely possible something will slip through the cracks. Have IT staff on hand to check the status of systems, run tests, and fix problems.

Rob Richards mentioned in a previous book review about some of the issues he was having getting the Oracle extension enabled on his Fedora 8 system. Well, he's come back after doing some more testing/compiling and has found some resolution to his issues.   I really didn't need to get it running, but the sheer fact that I tried it and it wouldn't work, pissed me off enough to spend some time getting it resolved. Hopefully this helps anyone else having the same problem. I am currently using instant client 11.1, but I did try the 10.2 version with the same results.   He steps through the process he followed - tracking down the missing libaio files, correcting an issue with SELinux loading the Oracle libraries and his realization: he just needed to allow text relocation. Included in the post are the command line calls that'd need to be made to make it all happen.
