Oracle released a  
<http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/pdf/cpujul2005.html> 
Critical Patch Update in July 2005 that addresses more than forty 
vulnerabilities in different Oracle products and components. The Critical 
Patch Update provides information about which components are affected, 
what access and authorization are required, and how data confidentiality, 
integrity, and availability may be impacted. Public reports describe 
vulnerabilities related to insecure password and temporary file handling 
and SQL injection.

Oracle HTTP Server is based on the Apache HTTP Server. Some Oracle 
products include Java components from Sun Microsystems. According to  
<http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/pdf/public_vuln_to_advisory_mapping.html>
 Oracle, the July 2005 Critical Patch Update addresses previously disclosed 
vulnerabilities in Apache and Java. Oracle also notes that Oracle Database 
Client-only installations are not affected by vulnerabilities listed in the 
July 2005 Critical Patch Update.

Solution:
Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade as specified in the Oracle  
<http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/pdf/cpujul2005.html> 
Critical Patch Update - July 2005. The update notes that some Oracle 
patches are cumulative while others are not:

    The Oracle Database Server, Enterprise Manager, and the Oracle 
Application Server patches in the Updates are cumulative; each successive 
Critical Patch Update contains the fixes from the previous Critical Patch 
Updates.

    E-Business Suite patches are not cumulative, so E-Business Suite 
customers should refer to previous Critical Patch Updates to identify 
previous fixes they wish to apply.

    Oracle Collaboration Suite patches are not cumulative, so Oracle 
Collaboration Suite customers should refer to previous Critical Patch 
Updates to identify previous fixes they wish to apply.

Workarounds:
It may be possible to mitigate some vulnerabilities by disabling or 
removing unnecessary components, restricting network access, and 
restricting access to temporary files.
Oracle

Critical Patch Update - July 2005 suggests setting a TNS listner password 
to mitigate a vulnerability in Oracle Database Server (DB08).
