Missing Security Patches

1) Are there any useful facilities for admins or auditors to idenitfy misisng security patches associated with oracle EBS and supporting infrastructure? I know there are websoites saying which patches are out there but I could do with some sort of "this is what you are missing" type reports.
2) Do Oracle have any useful whitepapers on best practice patch management for EBS, i.e. how to test, steps for restore if its affects anything etc.

Do any of the links you provide produce a missing patches report that would be easy to read for management/non EBS adminsYes.

Thanks,
HusseinThanks Hussein,
I am going to read through those links, but could you do me a bit of a cheat sheet on how to get a report on all missing security patches for our EBS and supporting infrastructure, and what it will look like. I.e. a basic 1-5 steps on where to get this report.

  • 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

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

    Hi,
    I am trying to install VPN Client from my client site. While installing i am facing the below error.
    Your system is missing a critical Windows security patch (MS12-020) required to gain access to this system. Use the link below for more information on installation, or open Windows Update and install all available critical updates. When you're finished updating
    your system, log out and try again. If you're still having problems, contact your system administrator.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2621440
    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.
    Best Regards,
    Yadav Kankanwadi

    Hi,
    Based on Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-020, this security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities:

  • HT1338 Hi, I'm trying to load Facetime on my MacBook and it says "You are missing a critical security patch. Please use Software Update to install Security Update 2010-005". I've checked and all my software is updated. What do I do?

    Hi, I'm trying to load Facetime on my MacBook and it says "You are missing a critical security patch. Please use Software Update to install Security Update 2010-005". I've checked and all my software is updated. What do I do?

    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:

  • Facetime Missing Security Update

    So me and most of my friends have iPhone 4's. we have been placing facetime calls all the time. i got curious about facetime for mac and decided to try it out. Everytime I try to install it, it says missing Security Update 2010-005. I've downloaded this and tried to install it over and over. It goes thru installation and restarts like it should. Tried to install facetime again after and it still says that its missing the security patch. Idk what to do to fix it. i've even installed other updates, 2010-006 and 2010-007 but with no prevail. Any suggestions?!

    I have OSX version 10.5.8, which is below the minimum required for the facetime software.
    I did 'software update' yet it never shows any software update available.
    Do i have to manually do the software update for my mac? or should it be automatic. If it should be automatic what have i done wrong? All the settings i can see say that it is automatic. And besides - shouldnt the update for 10.6.5 be showing (or anything more advanced than 10.5.8) in the software update section?!

  • MS-Office security patch of each language?

    i am having Office 2010 on my reference image it is necessary to install language packs? MS-Office by default consists of language pack? while during software updates deployment just need to select diffrent OS language language pack updates or need to
    select MS-Office security patch of each language?

    While during software updates deployment just need to select diffrent OS language language pack updates or need to select MS-Office security patch of each language?
    You need English and for Service Packs you also need the languages.
    If you don't add the language for your software updates, this will happen:

  • Policy on download access to CPU's (security patches)

    Does Oracle provide access to OTN members for security patches, namely the most recent, October CPU for Oracle 10g rel 2? Or, is this access available only for those with metalink access?

    I'm honestly trying to understand the security risk here.
    If you're using the OTN license, then there are a limited number of Oracle databases installed on development machines in your organization with no access to the internet and no sensitive data. The vast majority of development machines I've ever seen are horifically vulnerable because no one bothers to spend the time locking them down in the first place-- it's a lot easier to attack a system when the front and back door aren't locked than to figure out how to infiltrate through the chimney. I've never seen a licensed organization where patches were applied to every Oracle database on every laptop, every application server on every laptop, the FTP server that got installed on some random dev machine for testing, etc. I can't imagine a shop where Oracle wasn't even in production wanting to go through that effort every quarter.
    Oracle virii and worms are, while not impossible, are extremely rare, so the risks tend to come from attackers explicitly targetting a system, and no one is going to attack a dev system with no production data.
    Even if the worst happens and one of your dev databases is compromised, what is the loss? At worst, you uninstall Oracle and reinstall and a developer has lost an hour of their life. I'd wager that it would take way more time to apply the patch (and fix all the little things that the developers forgot at the time) than to rebuild the database if it were lost.
    If I'm missing an important attack vector or security concern, I'd certainly be interested in hearing about it. At the moment, though, I just don't see a cause for concern.

  • After security patch 03/04/2014 OSX 10.7.5, first one, then a second, external backup drive no longer recognized.  Diagnostics for the FireWire one displays brand name of unit, but Time Machine and its own app don't see it.  Where do I start?

    Yesterday I installed the security patch, OSX 10.7.5 to my IMac that is about 2 years old.
    Today my Seagate BackupPlus for Mac will power on but is not recognized.  It does not show up as a device, Time Machine says the latest backup was DELAYED, last successful at 03/04/2014 9:35 PM (yesterday) and next backup would begin when the disk was connected.  An error message I did not save said basically the drive was not recognized.   I did all drive's  troubleshooting steps, including installing a newer version of their app.  I tried swapping USB for FireWire, changing electrical outlets, etc.  
    It seems a bit coincidental to have 2 drives "fail" simultaneously.  Is anyone else having this issue after this security patch?  What would be the approach from the Mac side?  TIA for any assistance.
    Please see below regarding the second drive.  Is this a red herring, or does it help pinpoint where the failure might lie?
    I also have a Seagate GoFlex that WAS recognized until I did the troubleshooting on the other drive.  When I put it back on after testing the other drive with FireWire, it now is no longer recognized. 
    Diagnostics says this about that:
    FireWire Bus:
      Maximum Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
    GoFlex Mac:
      Manufacturer:          Seagate
      Model:          0x6090
      GUID:          0x2037600121908F
      Maximum Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
      Connection Speed:          Up to 800 Mb/sec
      Sub-units:
    GoFlex Mac Unit:
      Unit Software Version:          0x10483
      Unit Spec ID:          0x609E
      Firmware Revision:          0x111
      Sub-units:
    GoFlex Mac SBP-LUN:
    Thirdly, in after one of the testing/reboot loops, the HP WiFi printer was no longer recognized, but after a few more it came back.  

    I have a similar problem.
    Moreover, as my external drive is split in 2 for (a) regular storage // (b) time machine usage, I can see in the Finder that I can connect to the (a) regular storage part and use it normally (image 1).
    And I cannot connect to the backup part in Finder , nor see it in Disk Utility, nor use it in Time Machine (although it's listed in the Time Machine preferences, image 2), as it does not connect (image 3).
    Can somebody help?

  • Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

    Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
    Risk: High
    Application: oracle_tnslsnr
    Port: 1521
    Protocol: tcp
    Synopsis:
    It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
    Description:
    The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
    legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
    Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
    or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
    Solution:
    Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
    Thank you for your help

  • I'm using my iPad with iOS v 6.1.3- is there a security patch for the SSL/TLS vulnerability for this, or do I have to go to 7.0.6?

    I'm using my iPad with iOS 6.1.3. Is there a security patch for this version, or do I have to update to iOS 7.0.6?

    There is an update for iOS 6... v6.1.6. But it is only available to iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen users. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6146?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    For iPad, the highest supported os for iOS 6 is v6.1.3. If you want to get the security patch, you'll have to go to iOS 7.0.6.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • 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
