Hi.
Patches for Solaris from Oracle - not free. You require buy service contract for get access to it.
So get Patches for Solaris 8 you neeed special say about it, becouse it's not coverd by standart premier support.
( Solaris 8 - extended support ).
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-hardware-os-337182.pdf
When you buy service contact - you get customer support identifier ( CSI) that require for support.oracle.com
