Critical Patch Update Oct 2007 - Detailed items

Hello,
Oracle has released the CPU for Oct 2007.
We can see the document related to the patch on Metalink, but we were unable to locate the detailed list of changes/upgradations taken care of in this patch.
How can we find out how the patch will affect our existing applications or application functionalities, etc.
Please guide me through.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply sybrandb, I am a fan of yours :)

  • 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.

    Hi Vikas,
    I just went through your blog dated october '07.
    Can you please elaborate on the three points mentioned there.
    As stated by you:
    1)Register web service in the gateway (e.g. SID0003001)
    2)Register callback in the gateway (e.g. SID0003002)
    3)Add XML transform step in policy pipeline for SID0003001 that transforms ReplyTo WS-Addressing header to SID0003002
    My stand:
    I have successfully done step number 1.
    I am not sure what step number 2 means.
    Regarding the .xsl file this is my .xsl file.

    Can anyone tell me, what is the function of a cpu patch?
    I have installed 2 patches one for 9 an other for 9i, but I do not understand why this patch must/should be installed.

    Perhaps the description of CPU can help you understand what is CPU about.

    Description
    A Critical Patch Update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities. It also includes non-security fixes that are required (because of interdependencies) by those security patches. Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that fixes are applied as soon as possible. This Critical Patch Update contains 36 new security fixes across all products.

  • 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.

  • Error when try to install CPU - Critical Patch Update with OPatch

    Hello gurus,
    I´m faccing with a problem... After I update the patch set to 10.2.0.4 and install the interim patches for Linux X86_64 now I´m trying to import/install the Oracle Critical Patch Update - Oracle CPU patch!!
    I´m trying to import it with OPatch, and I already update this OPatch tool for the last version even before proceeding with installation of Oracle CPU!
    I've tried to import it by two methods. The first I tried to apply as described in the relevant README file inside of CPU patch directory, and I used in this case the following command:
    redhatsap:orajmd>  unzip p9119226_10204_<platform>.zip
    redhatsap:orajmd>  cd 9119226
    redhatsap:orajmd>  opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate
    opatch: Command not found
    After that previous error, I tried again but now with other method that is described in note 839182 (Installing patches using OPatch) with the following command:
    redhatsap:orajmd>  cd 9119226
    redhatsap:orajmd>  $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply

    João Dimas - Portugal

    Hello again Joe Bo... and all of others,
    I´m with a doubt after installing the CPU patch, which is related to post-installation tasks. I´m in this momment install the SAP System and it was during this installation that sapinst asked me to install the database and all other activities after this installation that are related to the database, for example, the updating of database patches.
    At README file in chapter 3.3.2 Post Installation Instructions is described the following:
    After installing the patch, perform the following actions:
    1.Load modified .sql files into the database, as explained in Section 3.3.2.1.
    2.Recompile views in the database, if necessary, as explained in Section 3.3.2.2.
    In this momment, as you certainly know, I still don´t have a database because the sap system isn´t yet totally installed (I´m in phase 8 of sapinst wizard).
    I only have to do this "Post Installation Tasks" when I have a database, this database will be created after that phase 8 - so now I don´t need to perform the post steps... am I right?
    Thanks in advance,
    João Dimas - Portugal

  • Installing Critical Patch Update

    Hi All,
    I need to Install Critical Patch Update Jan 2005 on my database server. I had never Installed it earlier so need to know what are the steps to be followed for the same. I checked with the readme available with the patch but nothing much is there about installation procedure.
    Also can it be installed on Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 ?
    Thanks in Advanced
    Bhupinder

    Follow these steps:
    Find your OS version & make, 32/64 bit architecture?
    Find your Oracle DB version.
    Based on that find out which patches to be downloaded from Metalink.
    With patch comes the readme, which provides step by step guide for patching. I don't understand why you said "..nothing much is there about installation procedure.." as it contains all steps in detail.
    Mainly using opatch, you have 3 steps:
    1. Check with lsinventory about any previous patch implementation.
    2. Use "opatch apply" .. to apply the patch.
    3. You can rollback patches.. in case of any error.
    Also check any Pre-requisites for a particular patch.
    If you didn't use it before, you have to download latest opatch utility, which is available in Metalink.

  • Oracle Critical Patch Update April 2008

    Yesterday I have got email from oracle regarding CPU patch availablity of 2008. Just curious where we can get the exact details for that patch...? which bugs is fixed ? What's the correct number for any OS ? Is there any metrics available for that ? I have not get enough information on Metalink.

    Please, please, please, please, follow the links provided in the mail for your product!! (http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuapr2008.html)
    You would have hit note 552248.1 on Metalink.
    Did you read it?
    Within 2 seconds I can see various matrices of patch numbers.
    As the CPU is provided by Metalink, why don't you submit a SR with your concerns?

  • Critical Patch update vs Patch Bundle

    Our servers runs on sun solaris sparc 64 bit and oracle 11.1.0.7 with CPUAPR2009 patches. We found the latest patch bundle 8658581.8 would resolve many of our issues.
    I need to know whether the patch bundle would be bundled with the CPU patches since the patch bundle was released after the CPU patches and I have also read a document which says
    Are Recommended Patches Cumulative ?
    Yes, Recommended Patches are cumulative for a given target configuration. The latest Recommended Patches for a given target configuration will contain all fixes included in the previous ones.
    This patch bundle is a recommended patches.
    Please help me in resolving the patches to apply. And please provide me more clarity on Thanks
    Regards,
    Ilan

    Hi Ilan,
    I'm not sure if you received the answer you were seeking elsewhere.
    As you may know, the n-Apply Critical Patch Updates (CPU's) are released on a quarterly basis and are cumulative in nature. The CPUs are released to address security vulnerabilities, primarily. At the time of their release, they each contain groupings of security fixes (called molecules). Each of these molecules contain multiple related patches and the molecules can be applied independently of one another.
    Now, that being said - there is a chance that Oracle could release interim (i.e. one-off) patches, merge patches, and patch bundles in between CPU releases and in between patchset releases. The fixes provided in these interim patches, merge patches, and patch bundles should also be included in subsequent CPU releases (if they address security vulnerabilities) and in subsequent patchset releases (if you're not already on the terminal patchset release for your version).
    As for the CPU releases: prior to the patch installation, the following checks are performed for each molecule patch being installed:
    - Conflicts (patch to be installed contains modules which conflict with existing patch in the Oracle Home)
    - Subsets (patch to be installed is a subset of an existing patch in the Oracle Home)
    - Duplicates (patch to be installed is the same as an existing patch in the Oracle Home)
    If you encounter a situation where the particular patch to be installed is in conflict with one or more other patches which have previously been applied to the same Oracle Home, then you will need to file a Service Request with Oracle Global Customer Support to request a merge patch to merge the conflicting patches together into one individual patch.
    If the particular patch to be installed is a subset or duplicate of an existing patch in the Oracle Home, then there is no need for the patch to be applied to the Oracle Home as the fix it contains already exists there. For this reason, the CPU installation instructions from the README.html direct you to run OPatch with the -skip_subset and -skip_duplicate options to skip attempting to apply any patches that are subset or duplicate of existing patches in the Oracle Home. See the README.html file from the most recent CPU (July - 8534387) for complete details about the CPU, including what molecules of fixes it contains.
    I hope this information helps clarify things for you rather than confuse you further. Keep in mind I am responding with a general answer which should address your question. I have not reviewed 8658581 specifically to see what this patch addresses.

  • 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?

  • Documentation on how to apply critical patch updates

    Hi,
    Can anyone send me links to some good documentation on how to apply critical patch updates to 9i & 10g databases on both Windows & Linux?
    I'd like a step-by-step explanation, with detailed examples since this is the first time I'm going to do this.
    Thanks!

  • Long term release of CriticaL Patch Updates: which database version to use?

    Hello,
    The company i work for ask me to mak a plan to stay up-to-date with each quarterly released CPU's (Critical patch update)
    We have 11.1.0.7 databases and 11.2.0.2 databases.
    When i look at the latest CPU, docid 1455387.1 , i notice that for each final RDBMS release, a CPU is relased for a very long time, but for recent releases it is not.
    For exampe for release 11.1.7.0 a CPU is relased until July 2015, but for 11.2.0.2 final CPU ends already at January 2013.
    For 10.2.0.5 i noticed the same behaviour.
    This makes me think....
    In my opinion i would never upgrade from 11.1 to release 11.2, until the final 11.2. release come out, if i want to stat up-to-date with the cpu's.
    Am i right?
    And does this mean that if new applications neeed in our company need an 11g daatbase, i better install 11.1.0.7 rather then 11.2?
    (if the application does not need 11.2 funtionality of course)
    Any comment is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Harry

    Pl see support policies on pages 2 thru 4 in this doc - http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf. CPU patches are available only during Premier and Extended Support.
    Details are in this MOS Doc
    Lifetime Support and Support Policies - Oracle Database Overview [ID 1351163.1]
    Release and support schedule is published - see this MOS Doc
    Release Schedule of Current Database Releases [ID 742060.1]
    It is always recommended to upgrade to the latest database version available, even if you do not need the features. A possible option is to perform upgrades on a yearly basis to whatever is the latest version available and apply CPUs/PSUs for four quarters until the next upgrade cycle
