Knowing how to do this will not make you any more secure, what matters is this can be done and the level of security impact depends on both the OS type and the Oracle version/patch level.

It is most important that you activate admin restrictions on your listener(s) to remove some of the remote vulnerability, some DBA's also suggest using a password on the listener but from testing it seem that admin restrictions stop most valid issues.
