RE: July PSU Issue

Hey Scott,  

We will be deploying the July 19c patch set next weekend so I whipped up a database and applied the patchset to it.  

No issues changing SYS. I tried with and without special characters.  

SQL*Plus: Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production on Tue Aug 10 16:26:15 2021

Version 19.12.0.0.0

Connected to:

Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production

Version 19.12.0.0.0  

SQL> alter user sys identified by ################;

 

User altered.  

SQL> alter user sys identified by ################;

 

User altered.  

And the database is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)  

Please keep us informed as I am curious.  

Thanks,

Chris

We've installed the July PSU and have been testing and found the following issue:  

When attempting to change the sys password, it generates an ORA-07445:  

SQL> alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;

alter user sys identified by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Process ID: 15559

Session ID: 263 Serial number: 7056  

In the alert log, I see:  

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [__intel_ssse3_rep_memcpy()+9660] [SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x1C] [PC:0x6F3861C] [Address not mapped to object] []  

I am trying to create an SR, but it keeps returning an error 504, so I can't get that done, either.  

Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix or workaround? We have production patching scheduled for Saturday morning, so this is urgent.  

This is 19c (19.12.0.0) on Red Hat 7.
