CPU Jan2006 for Database 10.2.0.1 on Linux re-issued

23 January 2006 at 09:44 CET | In Database, Oracle, Patches and upgrades |

Here we go again! Just got an email from Oracle that Critical Patch Update January 2006 for Database 10.2.0.1 running on Linux x86 was re-issued. I think they re-issued some part of each Critical Patch Update since they started with the things. Is it so hard to test all known vulnerabilities after applying the patch sets in the final stage of QA?

Will they ever get it right the first time?

Dear Oracle Customer,

You are receiving this email because our records indicated you downloaded
the Critical Patch Update January 2006 (CPUJan2006) patch for Oracle
Database 10.2.0.1 (Patch 4751931)for Linux x86 before it was re-uploaded on
January 20, 2006.

These patches were re-uploaded because some files did not include all of the
changes required to fix the security vulnerabilities being addressed in the
January 2006 Critical Patch Update. No functional problems will be
encountered by applying an earlier version of these patches, but some
security vulnerabilities will not be completely fixed. Even if you have
successfully applied an earlier version of these patches, you should still
re-download and re-apply the latest version of the patches, dated
20-JAN-2006.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced,
and we thank you for your patience and cooperation in securing your Oracle
server products.

Regards,
Oracle Global Product Security

    That’s an easy one. The answer is NO.
