I also could not locate a patch or even a reference to the bug id either. There is a little bit of disparity between the Covert and the Oracle advisories. Oracle currently claims they are in the process of backporting. Having dealt with Oracle in the past on issues such as this, they have alot of work backporting to all the different platforms and versions, so it typically takes them quite sometime to patch this stuff. From the Covert release: Oracle has produced a patch under bug number 1489683 which is available for download ..... From the Oracle release: Oracle has fixed this vulnerability in Oracle9i. Oracle is in the process of backporting the fix to supported Oracle8i database server and Release 8.1.7 and 8.1.6 ...... I will attempt to contact the security product manager over there and let everyone know if I find anything out. Aaron C.

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
