Exploit circulating for newly patched Oracle bug
A serious buffer overflow flaw among the 80-something flaws patched by Oracle this week is already being exploited. I sure hope you took our advice and patched in time! The bug, known as DB27, is vulnerable to an SQL injection hack. That sends dangerous code to the 9i and 10g versions of Oracle databases and gives remote attackers full access. Other exploits may well be on the way.
