Security Vulnerabities with SQLNet Allowed Logon Version 8?

edited Jul 23, 2016 7:39AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi

This is 12.1.0.2 on Linux x86_64.  I've logged an SR with the same question, but am still waiting for acknowledgement. 

One of our application products says they must have sqlnet.allowed_logon_version_server=8. I would like to point to specific vulnerabilities tied to setting this parameter to this old value. What are the risks to a new database that sets this value to 8? Vulnerabilities (by ID), patches we cannot apply, passwords easy to crack? I need to cite specific issues for management.

We would prefer to have the latest and most secure settings.

Thank you,

Laura Sallwasser
