Hello,

Security alert #59 states that it only affects Oracle 9i releases 1 and 2. I am running Oracle 8.1.7.4 and took a look at the files oracle and oracleO mentioned in the alert. I noticed that execute permission is also granted to the system group "other" here too. Should I run the workaround steps:
# cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
# chmod o-x oracle oracleO
...or will this have adverse affects on my system?

DB Info:

Oracle 8.1.7.4 on AIX 4.3
