Database Oracle Express security issues

Hello

I really hope you can help me with this.

I have a machine with Ubuntu installed Server and Oracle 10 g 10.2.1.0 database Express, currently I had some security because of a spam bot problems and some zombie running process on my server, I already closed all ports which are not very necessary.

After doing a Scan of Nessus, the results were a lot of patches Oracle are needed, after some research, I discovered that it takes a CSI.

My question is this, is there an alternative to the installation of this paches? As the upgrade to 11g maybe would solve my problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

Gustavo.

If you are concerned about potential security issues, you can consider getting a paid license and support - not available/possible services with XE.

That said, 11.2 XE is likely to have another set of bugs, but as is 11.2.0.2 version that is not a basic version it might be beneficial. You just need to install it and try it! (Note: there is no way to upgrade with XE, AFAIK)

  • Database Oracle Express Edition (XE) advice and recommended reading

    Hi all

    Still relatively new to the forums and databases, but I stumbled on the Oracle Database Express Edition today, I didn't even know that Oracle has offered something like that. Great stuff, perfect for students aspiring DBA and analysts to draw lessons. These forums have been a mine of information, but it would be good to have a sticky thread at the top of the forum with all the Oracle documentation best and other reading materials to learn how to use Oracle XE! Any suggestions by veterans over here?

    Hello
    I installed peopletools 8.52.i has seen somewhere as client 32-bit oracle only support and it will just work. Can someone help me why is it so or can be iitself 64-bit. If its possible, what parameters it takes to have the 64-bit database client.

    Thanks in advance.

    On Windows server, applications and batch need an Oracle 32-bit client servers. Period. Nothing more to add. Or wait 8.53 PTools which will be a 64-bit real even application for the customer as appDesigner and DMS.

  • Listener Oracle Express Edition issues

    Hi all

    I'm having some trouble with my interlocutor. I'm trying to start my listening on a different port, then then I installed on (1521) and the receiver refuses to start.

    Was the work around that?

    Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=svr-ex-01.dbsoft.local)(PORT=1531)))

    I refused to believe that I needed to reinstall XE just to change the port!

    You don't "install" the port to listen on a port.  You start a process of listening, and it determines what he finds in listener.ora which port it will try to listen to.  If there is no listener.ora, it will use the default value of 1521.

    Take a look at the error stack.  Which suggests the line 5?  An error being returned by the operating system and the spokesperson through the lsnrctl utility.  Hmm...  Maybe a firewall issue?  Blocking port 1531?

  • Link to database for MySQL with Oracle Express

    Hello Oracle Community,

    I made a post on this topic already in the section general, but here is the best place for my question. My goal is to access a mysql to oracle server. Some info about my system and what I've done so far:

    Windows Vista 64-bit
    Oracle Express 10.2

    -installed 32-bit DNS ODBC driver for the database mysql, tested and it succeeded, the name is CHANCE
    -created a new file in the folder admin/hs initLuck.ora, prameters are: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = CHANCE HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
    -new section in the listener.ora: (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = CHANCE) (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server) (PROGRAM = hsodbc))
    -new section in my tnsnames.ora: CHANCE = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp) (HOST = GOGAPC01001)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CHANCE)) (HS = OK))
    -inexplicable the listener
    -Do a bit of luck, success of tnsping
    -created a link of database: CREATE DATABASE LINK LUCK24 CONNECT TO 'user' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' USING 'LUCK24 ';
    -tried to do a simple select statement: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM customers@LUCK;

    and there I get an error message:

    ORA-28500: connection between ORACLE and a non-Oracle system has sent this message:

    can anyone help?

    Ikrischer

    Ikrischer,
    On which platform do you have installed the drivers 32 bit and HSODBC? He was on a Windows 32-bit platform? It is not supported to run the 32-bit software on a Windows 64-bit platform.
    There were some problems with versions 10.2.0.3 and earlier that are similar to those you typo - problems with bigint and select count. These are laid down in the 10.2.0.4 group of patches, so you should apply to your ORACLE_HOME 10.2 directories and see if the problem still occurs.
    However, as already said HSODBC 10.2 is now desupported you need to find to install 11.1.0.6 DG4ODBC and then apply the 11.1.0.7 patch group which also solves the problem.
    If you have access to My Oracle Support then see this note.

    Select columns MySQL Bigint use HSODBC returns an incorrect value when you use ODBC MySQL Connector (Doc ID 401086.1)

  • Able to decrypt the passwords to oracle, a security problem?

    Hello
    Before all sorry if this is a silly question. I'm still fairly new to Oracle...

    My company is using Toad for Oracle to access our database, now I found a thread on the internet saying there is a tool that allows to decrypt the passwords to oracle.
    How can we prevent someone from our database passwords decryption?

    Thread of the example: http://toadfororacle.com/thread.jspa?threadID=36841

    Is it a security issue?

    Thank you
    Dere

    Published by: user6032647 on 05/04/2012 22:12

    The way I read it is that TOAD stores Oracle connection details in an .ini file, and this file can be decrypted.

    Oracle does not store the encrypted passwords, it stores the hashed passwords that cannot be decrypted. If the hashes are exposed they can be brute-force, so the complex passwords are essential.

    It is a problem of TOAD. Connection passwords should not be saved (I guess that TOAD a standard Windows "save my password checkbox", it were not used for years). If it is used as a mechanism to hide the users of TOAD database connection details, then serious consideration of safety is required.

  • Forms 12 c and Oracle Express?

    Anyone know if the RCU for 12 c forms must be included in a database of Oracle Express? I would like to set up a development PC with forms 12 c but I don't want to put the UCR in my production database.

    I remember the good old days of forms 10g with a single installer which could both install forms and reports more SSO with database included. The complexity and overhead of the new versions of forms makes it difficult to justify the upgrade for my business.

    The repository database is necessary if you want to have a runtime environment.  You said that you don't want to have the repository schemas in the prod db to test your dev.  Do you use data from production to test your 'dev '?  It may be a good idea to have a database of development both for rest and data.  That said, the patterns of Repo are particularly well appointed, in order to install them in an existing db should not create a problem.

    Oracle XE is not certified.  A list of databases that have been certified in the certification of products.

    Please read the documentation of the requirement for Oracle APEX 5. Ensure that your environment meets these requirements. Upgrade your oracle database or other software if necessary components and then you can go right 4.1/4.2 to 5.0 update according to the above-discussed upgrade strategies in the above discussions.

    Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E59726_01/install.50/e39144/pre_require.htm#HTMIG376

    You should go for upgrade of the Oracle APEX of 4.1 to 5.x. Regression test your applications to remove if any errors introduced by upgrade. The kickoff of a new project to migrate your applications to universal theme.

  • Oracle Express does not not at startup

    Hello

    I need to analyze some things for my work and I decided to that home. To do this, I want to install Oracle Express 11 g on a desktop at home. I read that Oracle Express will be loaded at the start of the desktop computer and you can unload the database after the start. It's not what I really want. What I would like is that I can load Oracle Express the time I need, but have no active on other times.

    Is it possible to configure Oracle Express like this. I already had a peek at the most common options, but I couldn't find anything (but maybe I just missing).

    Thank you

    Kind regards

    Rob.

    What I would like is that I can load Oracle Express the time I need, but have no active on other times.

    You specify your operating system, assuming that Windows (if no, please specify): If Yes, you can

    -Configure XE services such as manual

    -create two bat icons on the desktop, for example

    • xe_start with the content

    net start OracleXETNSListener

    net start OracleServiceXE

    • xe_stop with the content

    net stop OracleXETNSListener

    net stop OracleServiceXE

  • Oracle APEX Performance on Oracle Express Edition

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone can help me, I'm looking to change my environment hosted on a virtual server. The server running VMWARE Windows 2012 R2 and Oracle Express Edition with the latest version of the APEX.

    The server would be:

    3Gig Ram

    25Gig storage

    1 virtual processor

    Someone at - he no idea how it would perform? I currently have applications with up to 200 people using the system at a point in time. Performance is critical obviusly and I don't want this virtual solution if I'll take a drop in performance.

    Just to clarify, the only reason why I'm looking to spend are all my clients are located in South Africa and I am currently hosted in the United Kingdom. The shift would be seriously reduced if I moved to accommodation in South Africa.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi André,.

    I did a few tests of performance and scalability with APEX on XE with JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/)

    The limitation of the XE is mainly database size (I think only 11 GB for user data) and max 1 GB for the database altogether instance.

    When you use the EPG of APEX I started to run into trouble after 20 + sessions at the same time.

    When you use the earpiece of the APEX, I was able to push a tot of factor 2 3...

    After that XE has usually crashed due to problems of memory.

    Everything depends on the application and how active users are their session but more importantly could give you a good indication that XE isn't the way to go for 200 users working at the same time.

    Maybe check jmeter (very easy) with your application and the config to see when it crashes. SE1 could also be a cheap alternative.

  • Oracle Express Edition and Windows encrypted files (EFS) system

    Hello
    I want to use oracle express edition with filesystem encrypted Windows. I tried some options like encryption folder xe. But connection can not be established when efs is used. There is a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On the page of the Oracle, it is stated that the oracle database is compatible with the Windows EFS.
    Thank you very much for the help.

    There is no installer available for Windows 64-bit - some people have managed to hack the facility - a search on these forums - Re: Y at - it Oracle XE 11g for 64-bit windows?
