Subject: Analysis of the Oracle October 2006 Critical Patch Update

Hey all,
I've just posted an analysis of the 22 Oracle RDBMS flaws patched by the 
October 2006 Critical Patch Update that was released yesterday: 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuoct2006.html. 
Further, it's a shame to see that, after a promising July 2006 CPU where 
Oracle had all the patches ready *on time*, they have slipped back into 
their old, bad habits - patches are not ready for a number of platforms. I 
thought they'd solved those issues - but clearly not. You can get a copy of 
the analysis from 
http://www.databasesecurity.com/oracle/OracleOct2006-CPU-Analysis.pdf,
Cheers,
David Litchfield
