    It may be premature to say there is a resolution to this problem or the
    other reported problem ([COVERT-2001-03] Oracle 8i SQLNet Header
    Vulnerability). I have searched the metalink site for several hours trying
    to find a bug report that references either of these problems or the
    patches, to no avail. I've also searched for the patch on Oracle's ftp
    server ftp-oracle.oracle.com, also without success. There are at least 3
    articles posted to the internal metalink networking forum from Oracle users
    who haven't been able to locate the patches.
    
    I have opened a "TAR" with Oracle to request the patches, but has anyone
    been able to locate either of these patches or the corresponding bug reports
    on metalink?
