SUSE: 2012:0765-1 Important: Oracle Server Local Listener Issue

This package wraps the Oracle Server update process for the Oracle server included in SUSE Manager. On installation of this package it will pull and install the Oracle updates and patches, integrated so that SUSE Manager is correctly stopped, the databases converted and restarted. It contains a security helper script that may adjust the Oracle server listening on all network interfaces to just listen on localhost (CVE-2012-1675). To switch to a configuration that will restrict the listener to localhost only run the following command as root: spacewalk-service stop /opt/apps/db-update/smdba-netswitch localhost spacewalk-service start In case you want to revert to the previous configuration, just run: spacewalk-service stop /opt/apps/db-update/smdba-netswitch worldwide spacewalk-service start
