Patch set 9.2.0.6 for Win32 is causing debate

November 10th, 2004 by Pete

Post to del.icio.us   Post to Furl   Digg!

I came across an interesting thread on the ORACLE-L mailing list this morning again related to the new 9.2.0.6 patch set. The first post to the thread by Patrice updates us that the OTN patch page still says the latest patch set is 9.2.0.5 for Win32 but metalink has 9.2.0.6 released on 31 Oct. Patrice also updates us that there are still no 9.2.0.6 patch sets for Linux or tru64.

Paul Drake makes a very interesting comment further down the thread where he says:

“Please be aware, that the patchset 9.2.0.6 for win32 is not in itself
a solution for Oracle Security Alert #68, as described in the FAQ and
patch set matrix notes on Metalink. Other one-off patch sets may also need to be applied.”


Beware!
