I just came across Robert McMillan's news story on Computer World. The article is titled "Exploit circulating for newly patched Oracle bug - It can crash an un-patched database server". It talks about the exploit that is circulating the net that i talked about yesterday here. This exploit can be used to crash a database and as Robert says now provides a big incentive for Oracle customers to patch their databases. The article goes on to mention that the exploit can be used via SQL Injection techniques. The bottom line is patch as soon as you can.
