Oracle Solaris 11 - Best for Enterprise Applicationsglynnfoster
This presentation details some of the basic features of Oracle Solaris 11 that can be used as building blocks to deploy an enterprise application. Specifically, it uses a simple deployment example to create an IPS package for an application, integrates that application with SMF to provide an initial level of continuous service availability, deployed in an Oracle Solaris Zone using network virtualization to throttle bandwidth. Using this simple deployment example, additional integrated services like Immutable Zones, Delegated Administration, Firewall or Load Balancing, an administrator can build up to a more advanced deployment scenario.
Oracle licensing rules the 5 fatal mistakesKay Williams
“Five Fatal Oracle License Mistakes”, is a bit dramatic, but the following 5 mistakes crop up on such a regular basis that we at Madora believe they are worth reiterating.
For those experienced with Oracle, they will know the following as classic gotchas and will keep an eye out. IT professionals and Procurement Officers new to the ways of Oracle may get caught out – so be warned. Let’s walk through some of the five common areas that often have disastrous consequences.
SIMULATION-BASED APPLICATION SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN TIME-TRIGGERED COMMUNICA...IJSEA
This paper introduces a simulation-based approach for design and test of application software for timetriggered
communication systems. The approach is based on the SIDERA simulation system that supports
the time-triggered real-time protocols TTP and FlexRay. We present a software development platform for
FlexRay based communication systems that provides an implementation of the AUTOSAR standard
interface for communication between host application and FlexRay communication controllers. For

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

– “Low Risk, High Content Value”
Oracle E‐Business Suite 11i Cumulative Patches
– Introduced with January 2010 CPU
– Supports 11.5.10 CU2 only
9. Oracle Security Bug Process
Bug
reported 1. Customer or security researcher reports security
bug to Oracle
2. Oracle researches bug and develops bug fix
Elapsed
time on
– Finder not allowed to test fix or even notified about fix
average is
18 months 3. Oracle may first include fix in new releases
– No notification of security fixes to customers
4. Oracle includes fix in quarterly CPU
– From initial report to security patch release is 3
Bug months to 3 years
fixed
10. Oracle and CVSS
CVSS = Common vulnerability Scoring System
– A common scoring for the risk and severity of vulnerabilities ‐ base metric
score is 1 to 10 (10=worst)
– Designed for network devices and servers, not databases and
applications – biased toward root access
Oracle CVSS base metric scores will always be low
– A problem with the CVSS metric, not Oracle
Oracle Database realistic maximum is 5.5 to 6.5
Oracle includes “Partial+” in the advisory
17. Database Patches
Database patches are cumulative for all previous
Critical Patch Updates
– Database patches include non‐security fixes
– Windows patches are really version upgrades
– Testing should be similar to a version upgrade (i.e.,
9.2.0.7 to 9.2.0.8)
– Some Integrigy clients now only do minimal testing
Database patches provide the greatest security
benefit – Apply them ASAP
– Apply database patches now, other patches later
– Otherwise, enable “Managed SQL*Net Access” feature
19. Oracle Database Patch Set Update
January 2010 for 10.2.0.4 – Bug Fixes
– CPU = 39
– PSU = 149+
Fully supported by Oracle E‐Business
– Not explicitly tested by EBS Development
PSU is a patching path
– Once applied, must always apply PSUs rather than CPUs
– CPUs apply to base version only – no PSU
21. SYS.REGISTRY$HISTORY
Since January 2006, contains 1 row for most recent
CPU patch applied
– Previous rows removed
Semi‐reliable method for determining if CPU patch is
applied
– Inconsistent across versions
– Maybe removed if CPU is rolled back
SQL> SELECT comments, action_time,
id "PATCH_NUMBER", version
FROM sys.registry$history
WHERE action = 'CPU';
22. OPatch
Use OPatch inventory to determine if CPU patch
applied to ORACLE_HOME
– Does not indicate if catcpu.sql has been run for
databases
– Not the most friendly output
# cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
# ./opatch lsinventory -detail
23. Common CPU Patching Mistakes
1. CPU Forgotten Steps
2. Database Upgrades
3. ORACLE_HOME vs. Database
4. ORACLE_HOME and New Database
24. #1 CPU Forgotten Steps
CPU is two parts –
1. OPatch to update files in the ORACLE_HOME
2. catcpu.sql to update database objects
Some CPUs require additional manual steps –
– January 2008 CPU requires all views to be recompiled
due view/SQL complier bugs in July 2007 CPU
Query SYS.REGISTRY$HISTORY to verify CPU row is
present
– An indicator CPU patch was successfully applied
26. Database Upgrades and CPU Patches
Database Version Latest CPU Patch Included
Upgrade Patch In Upgrade Patch
9.2.0.8 July 2006
10.1.0.5 October 2005
10.2.0.3 October 2006
10.2.0.4 April 2008
11.1.0.6 October 2007
11.1.0.7 January 2009
27. #3 ORACLE_HOME vs. Database
Scenario
– Latest CPU patch is applied (January 2009) to
ORACLE_HOME
– Install a new database from the patched
ORACLE_HOME
Do I have to run the catcpu.sql from the January
2009 CPU?
– Yes, since some of the SQL statements in the
catcpu.sql do not exist as files in the Oracle Home
– catcpu.sql does perform some drops and grants
28. #4 ORACLE_HOME and New Database
Scenario
– Latest CPU patch is applied (January 2009) to
ORACLE_HOME
– Install a new database from the patched
ORACLE_HOME using DBCA and a seeded database
Do I have to run the catcpu.sql from the January
2009 CPU?
– Yes, since the seeded database files are pre‐loaded
with packages and none of the vulnerable packages
would be updated without running catcpu.sql
