• Overall, 55 Oracle security vulnerabilities (non-Solaris bugs) are fixed in this CPU, which is an above average number but well within the range of previous CPUs (Apr-11=47, Jan-11=43, Oct-10=50, Jul-10=38, Apr-10=31, Jan-10=24, Oct-09=38, Jul-09=30, Apr-09=43, Jan-09=41, Oct-08=36, Jul-08=45, Apr-08=41, Jan-08=26, Oct-07=51, Jul-07=45, Apr-07=36, Jan-07=51, Oct-06=101, Jul-06=62, Apr-06=34, Jan-06=80).  These numbers have been normalized for Oracle products and excludes any Sun products.
  
• The Oracle product and vulnerability mix appears to be similar to previous CPUs, with the only exception being a large number of Oracle Grid Control vulnerabilities fixed this quarter.  All CPU supported Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite versions are included.  The list of supported versions is getting very short and should be carefully reviewed to determine if version upgrades are required prior to applying the CPU security patches -
• Database = 10.1.0.5, 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.1, 11.2.0.2 for major platforms
  
• Application Server = 10.1.2.3.0, 10.1.3.5.0, 11.1.1.3.0, 11.1.1.4.0, and 11.1.1.5.0
  
• E-Business Suite = 11.5.10.2, 12.04, 12.0.6, 12.1.1, 12.1.2, and 12.1.3
  
• As anticipated by Integrigy, this is the first CPU available for Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.
  
• For the Oracle E-Business, as of the July 2011 there is no CPU support for all versions prior to 11.5.10.2 and 12.0.0 - 12.0.5.  We are not sure if it is a mistake in the CPU, but 12.0.4 is listed as a supported version.  11.5.10.2 requires the "Minimum Baseline for Extended Support" as specified in Metalink Note ID 883202.1.
  
• Based on the pre-release announcement, few determinations can be made as to the actual severity and impact on most organizations because of the varied components being patched this quarter.  For the database, the highest CVSSv2 score is a 7.2 and 2 vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable without authentication.  However, since 18 components are listed as being patched for the 13 vulnerabilities, it is hard to determine the impact without more details regarding individual vulnerabilities.  We anticipate the highest scoring vulnerabilities will be the client-side and Database Vault vulnerabilities.
• Integrigy will be presenting more information on this CPU in the following webinars: (1) Oracle July 2011 CPU E-Business Suite Impact Webinar Thursday, July 28, 2pm ET and (2) Oracle July 2011 CPU Oracle Database Impact Webinar Tuesday, August 2, 2pm ET.

• There are 13 database vulnerabilities; 2 are remotely exploitable without authentication and 2 are applicable to client-side only installations.
  
• Since at least one database vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 metric of 7.1 (important to high for a database vulnerability), this is a fairly important CPU.
  
• The components fixed by this CPU are not the usual suspects and several will not be implemented in many environments.  It will be interesting to see what the actual vulnerabilities are in these components: CMDB Metadata & Instance APIs, Content Management, Core RDBMS, Database Target Type Menus, Database Vault, EMCTL, Enterprise Config Management, Enterprise Manager Console, Event Management, Instance Management, Oracle Universal Installer, Schema Management, Security Framework, Security Management, SQL Performance Advisories/UIs, Streams, AQ & Replication Mgmt, and XML Developer Kit.
• In addition, there are 18 vulnerabilities in Oracle Enterprise Manager and 3 in Oracle Secure Backup.

• There are 7 new Oracle Fusion Middleware vulnerabilities, 2 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication with the highest CVSS score being 10.0.
• All Oracle Fusion Middleware implementations should carefully review this CPU to determine the exact impact to your environment.

• There is only one new Oracle E-Business Suite 11i and R12 vulnerability, which is remotely exploitable without authentication.  Most likely the Business Intelligence vulnerability cannot be exploited externally in DMZ implementations.
  

• We anticipate the criticality of this quarter's CPU will be in-line with previous CPUs.  Based on the patched components, this may be a lower than average risk CPU for specific databases based on configuration and installed options.  It appears most of the vulnerabilities are related to Enterprise Manager components.
  
• As with all previous CPUs, this quarter's security patches should be deemed critical and you should adhere to the established procedures and timing used for previous CPUs.
• For Oracle E-Business Suite customers, most likely the Business Intelligence will have to be applied to all implementations even if the Business Intelligence module is not installed, configured, or licensed.

• 11i and R12 differences and changes that impact security
• R12 security enhancements and new features
• Improving security throughout the R12 upgrade process

• Overall, 47 Oracle security vulnerabilities (non-Solaris bugs) are fixed in this CPU, which is an average number and well within the range of previous CPUs (Jan-11=43, Oct-10=50, Jul-10=38, Apr-10=31, Jan-10=24, Oct-09=38, Jul-09=30, Apr-09=43, Jan-09=41, Oct-08=36, Jul-08=45, Apr-08=41, Jan-08=26, Oct-07=51, Jul-07=45, Apr-07=36, Jan-07=51, Oct-06=101, Jul-06=62, Apr-06=34, Jan-06=80).  These numbers have been normalized for Oracle products and excludes any Sun products.

• As anticipated by Integrigy, this is the first CPU available for Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.
  
• For the Oracle E-Business, as of the April 2011 there is no CPU support for all versions prior to 11.5.10.2 and 12.0.0 - 12.0.5.  11.5.10.2 requires the "Minimum Baseline for Extended Support" as specified in Metalink Note ID 883202.1.
  
• The highlight of this CPU is 6 of 9 Oracle Application Server/Fusion Middleware security vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable without authentication with the highest CVSSv2 score being 10.0.  The vulnerabilities are in Oracle Help, Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle JRockit, Oracle Outside In Technology, Oracle Security Service, Oracle WebLogic Server, Portal, and Single Sign On components.
• Integrigy will be presenting more information on this CPU in the following webinars: (1) Oracle April 2011 CPU E-Business Suite Impact Webinar Thursday, April 28, 2pm ET and (2) Oracle April 2011 CPU Oracle Database Impact Webinar Thursday, May 5, 2pm ET.

• There are 6 database vulnerabilities and 2 are remotely exploitable without authentication.
  
• Since at least one database vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 metric of 6.5 (important to high for a database vulnerability), this is a fairly important CPU.
  
• The components fixed by this CPU are not the usual suspects and several will not be implemented in many environments.  It will be interesting to see what the actual vulnerabilities are in these components: Application Service Level Management, Database Vault, Network Foundation, Oracle Help, Oracle Security Service, Oracle Warehouse Builder, and UIX.  If the Network Foundation bug is a denial of service and most of the other components are not implemented in an environment, this could be one of the first CPUs to be classified as low risk for some Oracle databases.
  

• There are 9 new Oracle Fusion Middleware vulnerabilities, 6 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication with the highest CVSS score being 10.0.
• Of critical importance will be the fixes in the Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Web Logic Server.  All Oracle Fusion Middleware implementations should carefully review this CPU to determine the exact impact to your environment.

• There are 4 new Oracle E-Business Suite 11i and R12 vulnerabilities, two of which are remotely exploitable without authentication.
• The vulnerabilities are Oracle Application Object Library (AOL), Applications Install, and Web ADI.  It is not clear if the AOL vulnerabilities can be exploited externally in DMZ implementations.
  

• We anticipate the criticality of this quarter's CPU will be in-line with previous CPUs.  The only exception may the significant number of Oracle Fusion Middleware remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, especially any in the Oracle HTTP Server.  For specific databases based on configuration and installed options, this may be a lower than average risk CPU.
  
• As with all previous CPUs, this quarter's security patches should be deemed critical and you should adhere to the established procedures and timing used for previous CPUs.
• Oracle E-Business Suite customers with externally facing implementations should carefully review the remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in Application Object Library to determine if these pages are blocked by the URL firewall.  If any of the vulnerable web pages are externally accessible, customers should look to immediately patch these environments.

• There are 6 database vulnerabilities and 2 are remotely exploitable without authentication.
  
• Since at least one database vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 metric of 7.5 (practical maximum for a database vulnerability), this is a fairly important CPU.  Most likely, any database account, even a lowly privileged account, will be able to gain full-control of the database by exploiting the vulnerability.
• The components fixed by this CPU are not the usual suspects and several will not be implemented in many environments.  It will be interesting to see what the actual vulnerabilities are in these components: Client System Analyzer, Cluster Verify Utility, Database Vault, Oracle Spatial, Scheduler Agent, and UIX.

The news reports describing the October 2010 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) are using terms like "giant", "massive", and practically every other known synonym for a really big security patch release.  These news reports must be resonating with CIOs and CSOs as Integrigy has received a number of client calls and a huge response to our upcoming webinars detailing this CPU.

As always a little perspective and analysis is required to quantify what is actually in the CPU and the risk to an organization.  First, lets look at the 85 vulnerabilities patched in the CPU to see how this CPU compares with previous CPUs -

• 75% (63 of 85) of the bugs fixed in this CPU are in products Oracle has acquired since the release of the first CPU in January 2005.

• 40% (36 of 85) of the bugs fixed in this CPU are in products Oracle has owned for less than a year (Sun).
• Only 7 database vulnerabilities are fixed this quarter where the historical average is 16.5 database bugs per quarter.
• Only 6 E-Business Suite vulnerabilities are fixed this quarter where the historical average is 9 bugs per quarter.

A more detailed look at the security bug count and maximum CVSS score by quarter shows this CPU for the Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite is average or slightly below for both bug count and maximum CVSS score.  Integrigy's preliminary analysis of this CPU shows 4 of the 7 database vulnerabilities can be exploited with no database credentials or just CREATE SESSION system privilege, which is consistent with previous CPUs - the other 3 vulnerabilities actually require advanced or infrequently granted privileges or roles like EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE.

Clearly for the Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite, this CPU is no different than the previous twenty-three CPUs and should be handled with the same processes and prioritization as previous CPUs.

• Overall, 50 Oracle security vulnerabilities are fixed in this CPU, which is a average number and well within the range of previous CPUs (Jul-10=38, Apr-10=31, Jan-10=24, Oct-09=38, Jul-09=30, Apr-09=43, Jan-09=41, Oct-08=36, Jul-08=45, Apr-08=41, Jan-08=26, Oct-07=51, Jul-07=45, Apr-07=36, Jan-07=51, Oct-06=101, Jul-06=62, Apr-06=34, Jan-06=80).  These numbers have been normalized for Oracle products and excludes any Sun products.
  
• The Oracle product and vulnerability mix appears to be similar to previous CPUs.  All CPU supported Oracle Database and Oracle E-Business Suite versions are included.  The list of supported versions is getting very short and should be carefully reviewed to determine if version upgrades are required prior to applying the CPU security patches -

• Application Server = 10.1.2.3.0, 10.1.3.5.0, 11.1.1.1.0, 11.1.1.2.0
  
• E-Business Suite = 11.5.10.x, 12.0.x, and 12.1.x
  
• This is the first CPU to exclude 9.2.0.8 as extended support ended July 2010.  The only other major change is the inclusion of Oracle Application Server/Fusion Middleware versions 10.1.3.5.0 and 11.1.1.x.
• The highlight of this CPU is 6 of 8 Oracle Application Server/Fusion Middleware security vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable without authentication.  The vulnerabilities are in BI Publisher, BPEL Console, Cabo/UIX, Forms, OID, and Perl components.
• Integrigy will be presenting more information on this CPU in the following webinars: (1) Oracle October 2010 CPU E-Business Suite Impact Webinar Thursday, October 21, 2pm ET and (2) Oracle October 2010 CPU Oracle Database Impact Webinar Thursday, October 28, 2pm ET.

• There are 7 database vulnerabilities and one is remotely exploitable without authentication.
  
• Since at least one database vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 metric of 7.5 (practical maximum for a database vulnerability), this is a fairly important CPU.  Most likely, any database account, even a lowly privileged account, will be able to gain full-control of the database by exploiting the vulnerability.
  

• There are 8 new Oracle Application Server vulnerabilities, 6 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication.  All the vulnerabilities appear to be in components not normally exposed externally.
  

• There are 6 new Oracle E-Business Suite 11i and R12 vulnerabilities, 5 of which are remotely exploitable without authentication.
• The vulnerabilities are in the Oracle Applications Manager, Oracle Applications Technology Stack, Oracle E-Business Intelligence, Oracle iRecruitment, and Oracle Territory Management.  Of most interest will be the vulnerabilities in iRecruitment and these might exploitable in externally accessible web pages.  Customers running iRecruitment should prepare to apply the patches immediately.
  

• We anticipate the criticality of this quarter's CPU will be in-line with previous CPUs.  The only exception may be if the remotely exploitable Oracle Database vulnerabilities are more significant than previous vulnerabilities in the networking components.
  
• As with all previous CPUs, this quarter's security patches should be deemed critical and you should adhere to the established procedures and timing used for previous CPUs.
• Oracle E-Business Suite customers with externally facing implementations should carefully review the remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in iRecruitment to determine if these pages are blocked by the URL firewall.  If any of the vulnerable web pages are externally accessible, customers should look to immediately patch these environments.

• There are no major version support changes in for this CPU.
  

• There are 10 database vulnerabilities and two are remotely exploitable without authentication.
  
• Since at least one database vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 metric of 10.0, this is a strong indication there a buffer overflow in the Listener component that is remotely exploitable without authentication.  Most likely, the CVSS metric for Windows will be 10.0 and will be 7.5 for Unix/Linux (even though you will be able to fully compromise the database).

• There are three new Oracle Application Server vulnerabilities, all of which are remotely exploitable without authentication.  The affected components are Access Manager Identify Server and Oracle Containers for J2EE.  With maximum CVSS 2.0 metric of 5.0, these could be cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities based on the scores and components.
