Re: We'll get used to it
Funny how so many of the examples that spring to mind are Rover...
No coincidence that the motoring press called the Rover 75 the "Last Chance Saloon"....

Oracle patches severe flaw in WebLogic Server that could be exploited 'without the need for a username and password'

Re: Curses!
Opatch is quicker but isn't used for WebLogic (at least for 10.3.6) - probably due to its BEA heritage..
Logging is a lottery with OPatch though. I always check the log files as it will report patching success even when it has crapped itself with a Stack Trace. That's why it takes so long to apply the patches...... Napply is great, with OPatch, but if you can't rely on it reporting success reliably then you have got to trawl through the logs.

Not me, sorry for the late reply though, I was off sick....;-)

Re: Curses!
No - the patches are around 90MB each (x5 to cover OJDBC/ADR/UPC/Samples), so I can only think that it is hideously inefficient in its memory usage when trawling through the dependencies - this happens even on a vanilla install. It is pretty consistent across other servers too so must be scanning the wlserver_10.3 directories.
The WL install is only around 1G or so, so quite how it can fill up to a -Xmx of that size is beyond me, even if it did a RAM copy of all the files into a table!
Oracle recommend you set -Xmx to 2G in the utility (default is 512m!!), but if you did that it would page itself into oblivion.
I agree - anyone opening WebLogic Server Admin Console should be planning for a leaving do (CVEs or not)

Some of Oracle's own current software is still stuck on JDK7/JDK8....(Oracle EPM, relying on WebLogic 10.3.6/JDK7, Oracle Essbase Admin Console is only availalble as a .JNLP, but WebStart deprecated in later JDK8s. At least RedHat OpenJDK8 has a Web Start replacement....)

Re: Is
I believe many unions have forced employers to use it over the years and tried to get it extended to other major cities.
From what I have read, UK unions are fairly hostile to regional salary scales (may depend on the industry).
In this "one size fits all" case you will either have people in London/Edinburgh/etc. eking out a living on a salary suitable for somewhere cheaper, or someone working somewhere cheaper raking it in on a London/Edinburgh etc.-weighted salary.
