Affected Products:
  • SUSE Manager 1.2 for SLE 11 SP1

  • An update that solves one vulnerability and has 5 fixes is now available.

    Description:


    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
