Hi David and all,
You are right.=20
Bug 2576249 (DAV_PUBLIC) was discovered by the Litchfield brothers and =
is already fixed with Alert 52.=20
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am not aware that the other bugs (Memory =
leak, webcache SSL 40bit encryption, oraaltpassword ...) are already =
covered by another Oracle security alert.
Cheers
