Hi

 

For sure SAP should be aware of critical security problems on Oracle before threatpost starts publishing about it !

There are Oracle guys working at Waldorf...

 

A vulnerability in the public role is not critical on a DB dedicated to SAP usage, as only SAP user (or the admin) is supposed to connect on the DB, no other user account should exist / be used. It seems that the problem only apply when using Oracle e-Business suite.

 

The poodle vulnerability is not a problem either for the same reason... and it is not a brand new vulnerability.

It might be a problem if you are using OEM (Poodle Vulnerability CVE-2014-3566).

 

I do not think these fix are urgents for Oracle DB used in an SAP environment.

I would feel more concerned with the lake of basic security rules against old problems like TNS Poisoning.

I do not see the here under basic recommendations applied that often !

 

1714255 - Restrict Instance Registration in non-RAC environments

186119 - Restricting DB access to specific hosts

 

Best regards
