Critical security patches on Solaris 9

Hi.
My director asked me to install critical security patches on our solaris 9 servers. Previously I downloaded that 9_recommended patch from sunsolve.com and install the whole patch clusters. My question is how can I ONLY get all those patches which are critical to the security issue? The recommended patch cluster includes a lot patches which are not relevant to security.
BTW, does anybody know some autopatching tools?
Thank you very much!

PatchPro is probably what you want. It should be available at

    First off, iOS 5 will not run on Macs.   You need to give us your Mac OS X on your Mac to determine which security update you need.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac.     And then read the link here:

  • July 2006 critical security patches released for corporate accounts

    Hello,
    Oracle had made a policy statement for 10gXE that it would not be releasing security patches for 10gXE. Today Oracle released the July 2006 critical security patches. See this page on Oracle website. These patches are only available to customers with a Metalink account.
    Will there be corresponding new release of 10gXE to address the coverage in these updates?
    Thank you.

    According previos release of patches for 10g and analogue on XE - NO!

  • Critical security patch JDK for ODSEE

    Hi Experts,
    I have a critical security patch update from Oracle for JDK.
    Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update - June 2012:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpujun2012-1515912.html
    Current version of JDK :jdk1.5.0_16
    Upgrade version od JDK required :jdk1.5.0_36
    I wanted to ask do i need to install this patch for ODSEE 6.3 version.Directory server runs with an in-build jre.
    I would be changing the JDK version for SUn app server and DSCC and directory proxy server.
    Do i need to upgrade the JDK for Oracle Directory Server 6.3?If yes, what would be process to upgrade JDK for ODSEE.
    Thanks,
    Ishmeet

    We moved to JDK 1.6.0 b22 some time back due to issues with the performance running with the supplied JDK (at Oracle Supports request)
    You then use dpadm set-flags /path/to/my_instance jvm-path=/path_to_java/jdk1.6.0_22/
    After you restart it will use the JDK specified

  • Getting information on critical security patches

    Hi,
    I want to get a list of all available security patches for WebLogic server 8.1 sp 6 and weblogic server 9.2 MP 1. However, I could not find much information from the documentation. I can see that the Critical Patch Updates for October 2008 are available at
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuoct2008.html#PIN
    and I can find the ones from July, 2008 too.
    However, where can I find notes on the earleir ones? is there any document that this all the available critical patches for a particular weblogic server version?
    Thanks,
    Bijula

    The Known and Resolved issues section of the docs are sometimes helpful this type of information, but if you want more information that is up-to-date it is best to open a support case and request it.

  • OS and DB Security patches and updates

    Dear Experts,
    We are going through SOX audits. Auditor is asking me about applied latest OS and Oracle patches to secure SAP systems from threats and attacks.
    I told them that we are running on Solaris 9 with Oracle 9.2.0.5
    and our severs are behind CHECKPOINT Firewall, and also we have never faced any security breaches and threats and also not facing any performance and efficiency problems in our system.
    However, they still persist me about critical security patches for Solaris and Oracle.
    Please tell me should I go for applying security patches of Solaris or Oracle if any. I am very worried about possible problems after applying of those security patches.
    Please guide me about this issue and tell me about proven and trusted security patches for Solaris 9 and Oracle 9.2.0.5
    Best Regards
    Waqas Ahmad

    > I told them that we are running on Solaris 9 with Oracle 9.2.0.5
    First I would like to tell you that your current Oracle version is out of extended support (see SAP on Oracle and the notes the first chapter points to). To get actual (security) patches I would highly recommend upgrading to 10.2.0.4.
    > However, they still persist me about critical security patches for Solaris and Oracle.
    They do that because most of the "attacks" to server come from internal users, not from external.
    > Please guide me about this issue and tell me about proven and trusted security patches for Solaris 9 and Oracle 9.2.0.5
    For the operating system I would use pca (Patch Check Advanced) - a free too to download and install patches - works like charm (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/). It can be configured to only download and install security relevant patches.
    For Oracle you should install the latest patchset (for 9.2 it's 9.2.0.8 and all the necessary interim patches) and the critical patch updates. However, those CPUs may conflict with necessary other patches so you can either use CPU or the necessary interim patches.
    Check note 938986 - Oracle Database 9.2: Patches for 9.2.0

  • Your system is missing a critical Windows security patch (MS12-020) required to gain access to this system

    Hi,

    I went through all the related sites but still i did not find any solution. Under Windows installed updates i could see the security update for Microsoft windows (KB2621440). If its already exist why it is not taking this security patch? 
    Kindly guide.

  • Determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied

    Hi,
    Anyone know how to determine which security patch or Critical patch update has been applied to the database? For Unix and also Win 2000k database server..
    Thank You

    Use the lsinventory command of opatch (Oracle's patch
    installation tool) to list the patches installed.
    If you have Perl and opatch installed, this is simply
    a matter of typing:
    opatch lsinventory
    from the command line.
    For further information on opatch, see metalink note
    293369.1
    Hope this helps.

  • Creating new databases after latest security patch applied

    10.2.0.4
    If I create a database AFTEr applying the opatch for the October 2009 security patch, do I need to also run:
    @catbundle.sql cpu apply
    Or is it included in the create database? I use the DBCA to create new databases.

    user8574962 wrote:
    This is what Oracle states on metalink doc id: 422303.1
    Once the bundle patch or the Critical Patch Update (CPU) patch is applied on an ORACLE_HOME should you run post-installation scripts for every newly created Oracle database using the same ORACLE_HOME?
    Solution
    This should be documented in the patch's README as the answer will vary with each patch.
    If the patch's README is not documented, then the Post Install tasks should be run.
    And this is what the OCTCPU09 README says:
    3.3.3 Post Installation Instructions for Databases Created or Upgraded after Installation of CPUOct2009 in the Oracle Home
    These instructions are for both non-RAC environments and RAC environments when a database is created or upgraded after the installation of CPUOct2009.
    You must execute the steps in Section 3.3.2.1, "Loading Modified .sql Files into the Database" for any new database only if it was created by any of the following methods:
    Using DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) to select a sample database (General, Data Warehouse, Transaction Processing)
    Using a script that was created by DBCA that creates a database from a sample database
    Hope that helps.Point taken that it could vary by patchset, but those particular instructions quoted square exactly with what I had said. To quote with emphasis:
    "You must execute the steps . . . for any new database *only if* it was created by any of the following methods . . ."
    And what are those methods? Creating the database from a sample (pre-patch) database. If one uses dbca to create a 'custom' database, the resulting scripts will start from scratch with a CREATE DATABASE command - no pre-patch version sample or seed database involved.
    :-)

  • Latest Security Patch for Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 on 11.5.10.2 environment

    We have SUNOS 5.10 with database 10.2.0.4 on 11.5.10.2 environment. The requirement is to patch latest security patch.
    last patch was done 17-FEB-2009 ( retrived from registry$history). So, i would like to apply the latest security patch.
    Please somebody let me know which one is the latest patch to be applied for this environment.
    Thanks
    Dheeru

    Hi Hussein,
    The customer can install CPU Patch or PSU Patch on top of 10.2.0.4. I agree with you but I think you are misunderstanding for what I am trying to say. Why not go for the latest Patch Set 4 (10.2.0.5) and then apply CPU Patch 9952270 or PSU Patch 9952230 on top of it (recommended). Every quarter, Oracle provides Critical Patch Updates (CPU) to address security vulnerabilities, and Patch Set Updates (PSU) to address proactive, critical fixes and security vulnerabilities. When deciding for CPU or PSU, please consider the following guidelines:
    Critical Patch Updates and Patch Set Updates
    The Patch Set Updates and Critical Patch Updates that are released each quarter contain the same security fixes. However, they use different patching mechanisms, and Patch Set Updates include both security and recommended bug fixes. Consider the following guidelines when you are deciding to apply Patch Set Updates instead of Critical Patch Updates.
    1) Critical Patch Updates are applied only on the base release version, for example 10.2.0.4.0.
    2) Patch Set Updates can be applied on the base release version or on any earlier Patch Set Update. For example, 11.1.0.7.2 can be applied on 11.1.0.7.1 and 11.1.0.7.0.
    3) Once a Patch Set Update has been applied, the recommended way to get future security content is to apply subsequent Patch Set Updates. Reverting from an applied
    Patch Set Update back to the Critical Patch Update, while technically possible, requires significant time and effort, and is not advised.
    Regards,
    Shahid

  • Find missing security Patches

    Hello team,
    Is there anyway to find out all the security patches we are missing in our production environment.
    Thanks
    Ammu

    Please refer to (Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 11i and 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (October 2013) (Doc ID 1585639.1)).
    You can identify the missing patches by following the same approach for identifying them at each tier node (i.e. query AD_BUGS, use "opatch lsinventory", ..etc).
    Thanks,
    Hussein
