ALERT - Support for Java Critical Patch Update

ALERT - Support for Java Critical Patch Update
On October 15th, Java released a critical patch update (CPU) which will require download and upgrade to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) release – 1.7.0_45.   If upgrading the JRE to this release, the P6 module (also known as Web Access) of the P6 EPPM product line and the Contract Management product, which utilize LiveConnect applets in the browser, will start generating one or more prompts.   To remediate these prompts for the P6 EPPM Web Access module and the Contract Management product, Oracle Primavera will be releasing fixpacks.   Until fixpacks become available, you can use the following workaround to suppress these prompts:  Select the 'Allow' Prompt or 'Yes' prompt for successful loading of applets.  Note: This prompt will occur for each applet. 
For more information, please refer to the following KM Documents in My Oracle Support.
For P6 (Web Access), refer to KM Document ID 1591925.1
For Contract Management, refer to KM Document ID 1592535.1

I found the answer to my own question. For any newbies out there, if you create an account with Oracle, that is not enough to download patches. You have to have an Oracle Customer Support Identifier associated with your account. Once you have a CSI that you obtain through your employer who has paid for support or through some other means, you then can go into My Oracle Support and enter a request to be added to the given CSI. That request goes into a pending state until the administrator of the CSI grants you privileges to download patches. (NOTE: You might have to bug someone within your organization to get this to happen.) For me, once I was given the privilege, the link worked as it should.

  • Oracle database 9.2.0.4 Critical Patch Update

    Hi,
    is oracle database 9.2.0.4 running on Windows still supported for critical patch updates? I went through the supported list in Critical Patch Update October 2006 but there was no reference to Oracle database 9.2.0.4. Oracle Premier Support for Oracle Database 9.2 expires in July 2007 - shouldn't this be included?
    Thanks

    So why aren't versions 9.2.0.1/2/3/4 included in the
    Critical Patch Update?9.2.0.5 is not listed either, neither were they listed in the July 2006 CPU.
    My guess is that the versions no longer fall under one of the items I listed earlier. You can file an SR with Oracle to get the exact reason.

  • Critical Patch Update

    We are using Oracle 9.2.0.1 on XP in our environment. I am aware that this version of Oracle is no more supported. However, because of some operational reasons we can not upgrade to a higher version
    Now the problem is we did a security check and some critical patch updates were reported missing. For example, Critical Patch Update October 2006. I checked the details of update and the version we are using is not listed (I am not sure why this patch is reported missing if the patch does not apply to the Oracle version being used). I would appreciate if somebody could help answer the following:
    1. What would be the solution to install the missing critical patches? Which patch could I install? Can I install October 2006 Critical Patch Update even though it does not support Oracle version 9.2.0.1
    2. From where can I get hold of the patches
    Regards,
    RM

    here we also hundreds of db from 7 to 10. If an application runs 7.3.4.5 or 8.1.4.2 or 9.2.0.4, there will be no CPU. Just be informed they must upgrade to the latest patchset as soon as possible.
    Sometimes, upgrading to the latest patchset (ex: 10.2.0.2) will also cover the security fixes.
    Also with some recent versions, if you have RAC, you can apply the CPU locally on one node only and avoid downtime.
    My personal view, which is not an "oracle" point of view, is that so long the customer is using SYSTEM/MANAGER or USER01/USER01 to connect to the database, the security patches are useless... Does this make sense?

  • Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2009 for Oracle BEA Releases

    Hi All,
    Researching in metalink about CPU's for WLS 9.1 I found Oracle Support Note #835668.1. Table 9 of this document
    lists minimum product requirements for WebLogic server.
    According to this table WLS 9.1 should have a minimum version of 9.2MP3.
    I am confident that WLS 9.1 and WLS 9.2 are completely different WLS versions and there is no upgrade path from WLS 9.1 to WLS 9.2.
    Is this table misprinted or is it required to replace all WLS 9.1 installations with WLS 9.2 installations?
    What is this table trying to indicate?
    Please assist.
    It would be very helpful.
    Thanks.

    Oracle Critical Patch Update fix a list of bugs , oracle will release CPU in every three months interval.
    you need to click the link which oracle has sent.
    then choose your database version===then select the patch number===then on metalink download the patch
    with patch there is read me file which tell you how to apply the patch on the database.

  • Critical Patch Updates Apr 2007 for Oracle10g Database Express edition

    Hi,
    When will Oracle10g Express edition which includes Apr 2007 critical patch updates will be available. We use Oracle10 Database Express ed for development purposes and as per Apr 2007 critical patch update Oracle on XP has a security vulnerabilities that needs to be fixed immediately.

    There are no CPUs for XE edition and the downloadable version is not patched either.
    If security is an issue, you'll need to pay up for Standard Edition.
    If it was the Windows-only issue from that CPU that is your concern, the other option is to go to XE on Linux.

    Whenever I've encountered this problem, I've renamed the dll that had errors to dll.o. Not a good idea for rolling back, BUT for me there is no going back. :)
    However, I found the following on MetaLink, you may want to give this a try.
    The best way I have found to avoid these cannot write to DLL errors is:
    1. Download listdlls.exe from:
    http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/listdlls.shtml
    2. Shutdown all Oracle services in services panel
    3. reboot machine
    4. listdlls > todaysdll.txt
    5. grep -i "ora" todaysdll.txt
    (If you do not have a grep utility [i.e. GNU web site] you can search the file with a text editor)
    6. If there are any hits, shutdown whatever program/service that owns it and repeat steps 4 & 5.

  • Oracle To End Support for Java 7

    No More Free Updates for Java 7 after April 2015
    Users must sign long-term support deals or migrate to Java 8 to avoid 'enormous headache and disruption to millions of applications'
    Public updates for Java 7 -- including bug and security fixes -- will end this month, a situation that one security advocate says could impact millions of applications.
    "As outlined in the Oracle JDK [Java Development Kit] Support Roadmap, after April 2015, Oracle will not post further updates of Java SE [Standard Edition] 7 to its public download sites," Oracle's Java SE Support Roadmap states. "Customers who need continued access to critical bug fixes and security fixes as well as general maintenance for Java SE 7 or older versions can get long-term support through Oracle Java SE Support. The process of migrating users from Java 7 to Java 8 through the auto update feature is expected to take place after the January 2015 CPU release."
    [ The art of programming is changing rapidly. We help you navigate what's hot in programming and what's going cold and give insights into the technologies that are changing how developers work. | Keep up with hot topics in app dev with InfoWorld's Application Development newsletter. ]
    Oracle released Java SE 7 in July 2011; Java SE 8 was released in March 2014. Java, particularly on the client side, has been beset by security issues in recent years. But Oracle has taken many steps to address the issues and stressed that most of the problems dated back several years, before Oracle took over Java from Sun in 2010.
    Still, the impact of Oracle's cessation of public updates could be severe, an official at security firm Waratek, believes. Oracle's "rapid" end-of-life schedule for Java versions is great for innovation and language evolution, Waratek CTO John Matthew Holt said in an emailed statement. "However, there is a dangerous tradeoff; now millions of Java 7 applications will have to defend themselves against code-level vulnerabilities without the benefit of future fixes." Holt advocates either upgrades to Java 8 or use of Java Run-time Application Self Protection (RASP) technologies (Waratek is a RASP vendor).
    This week's security update from Oracle, meanwhile, marks the "proverbial 'end of the road' for Java 7 application security, Holt said. "After today, the only version of the Java Platform which will receive public security updates is Java 8.  This is huge news, and it is going to cause enormous headache and disruption to millions of application owners around the world."
    Contacted Tuesday afternoon for a comment on the end of public updates for Java SE 7, by late evening Oracle had not yet responded.
    The April 2015 Critical Patch Update released Tuesday by Oracle provides 98 new fixes for security issues across a wide range of product families, said Eric Maurice in an Oracle blog post. These range from Oracle Database to Oracle Fusion Middleware, Java SE, and MySQL. Fourteen of the security fixes are for Java SE.

    Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.
