Overview

   Oracle products and components are affected by multiple
   vulnerabilities. The impacts of these vulnerabilities include remote
   execution of arbitrary code, information disclosure, and denial of
   service.


I. Description

   Oracle has released Critical Patch Update - July 2006. This update
   addresses numerous vulnerabilities in different Oracle products and
   components.

   The Critical Patch Update provides information about affected
   components, access and authorization required, and the impact of the
   vulnerabilities on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
   MetaLink customers should refer to MetaLink Note 293956.1 (login
   required) for more information on terms used in the Critical Patch
   Update.

   According to Oracle, four of the vulnerabilities corrected in the
   Oracle Critical Patch Update - July 2006 affect Oracle Database
   client-only installations.

   We believe that the Oracle Database vulnerability identified as Oracle
   Vuln# DB06 in the Oracle Critical Patch Update corresponds to US-CERT
   Vulnerability Note VU#932124, which includes further details as well
   as workarounds. In most cases, Oracle does not associate Vuln#
   identifiers (e.g., DB01) with other available information. As more
   details about vulnerabilities and remediation strategies become
   available, we will update the individual
   vulnerability notes.


II. Impact

   The impact of these vulnerabilities varies depending on the product,
   component, and configuration of the system. Potential consequences
   include the execution of arbitrary code or commands, information
   disclosure, and denial of service. Vulnerable components may be
   available to unauthenticated, remote attackers. An attacker who
   compromises an Oracle database may be able to gain access to sensitive
   information.


III. Solution

Apply a patch from Oracle

   Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle
   Critical Patch Update - April 2006. Note that this Critical Patch
   Update only lists newly corrected issues. Updates to patches for
   previously known issues are not listed.

   As noted in the update, some patches are cumulative, others are not:

     The Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle Enterprise
     Manager Grid Control, Oracle Collaboration Suite, JD Edwards
     EnterpriseOne and OneWorld Tools, and PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal
     Applications patches in the Updates are cumulative; each successive
     Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the previous Critical
     Patch Updates.

     Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications patches are not
     cumulative, so E-Business Suite and Applications customers should
     refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to identify previous fixes
     they want to apply. 

   Patches for some platforms and components were not available when the
   Critical Patch Update was published on July 18, 2006. Please see
   MetaLink Note 372930.1 (login required) for more information.
