   An update that solves one vulnerability and has 5 fixes is
   now available.

Description:


   This package wraps the Oracle Server update process for the
   Oracle server  included in SUSE Manager.

   On installation of this package it will pull and install
   the Oracle updates  and patches, integrated so that SUSE
   Manager is correctly stopped, the  databases converted and
   restarted.

   It contains a security helper script that may adjust the
   Oracle server  listening on all network interfaces to just
   listen on localhost  (CVE-2012-1675).

   To switch to a configuration that will restrict the
   listener to localhost  only run the following command as
   root:

   spacewalk-service stop /opt/apps/db-update/smdba-netswitch
   localhost spacewalk-service start

   In case you want to revert to the previous configuration,
   just run:

   spacewalk-service stop /opt/apps/db-update/smdba-netswitch
   worldwide spacewalk-service start
