RE: Oracle 8.1.7 32-bit on AIX 5.3 64-bit

Yes, CPUJan2006 was released for 8.1.7 - from Note 343384.1:

The Error Correction Support for 8.1.7 ended on 31-DEC-2003 or 31-DEC-2004, depending on the platforms. . . .
However, CPUJan2006 patches for this product version are available for E-Business Suite customers and customers who have purchased Extended Maintenance Support (EMS) for this product version.

Thanks,
Brandon

We don't even have the new server yet - just in the early planning stages.

Did oracle release the security patches/cpujan2006 for 817? How will you protect your server from the related exploits. They seems significant.
