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? Jeff Smith, Purdue University
