The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry regulations imposed by the major credit card companies to ensure the safety, security, and integrity of cardholder data. Any business that processes, stores, and transmits cardholder account data must comply with this complex new standard, and must be able to demonstrate that compliance through automated and manual audits of their systems. This white paper looks at the key challenges and requirements of PCI DSS as it relates to Microsoft Windows and Active Directory, and shows you how a third-party software solution can help with PCI compliance.

There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

Oracle has released a critical security patch to the company's E-Business Suite software. The patch, which was released nearly two months ahead of Oracle's next regularly scheduled security updates, fixes a number of vulnerabilities in the Oracle Diagnostics troubleshooting component of the company's E-Business Suite 11i.
Oracle executives could not immediately be reached for comment on the update, but the company is advising customers to apply the patch "due to the number of security fixes included," according to enterprise software consulting firm Integrigy.
The problems relate to the Oracle Diagnostics Web pages and to the Java classes included with the software, which could be inappropriately used by an attacker. "The most significant issue with the Oracle diagnostics is that some of the diagnostics can be executed without any authentication," Integrigy said in an analysis of the patch.
Though Oracle has been issuing its quarterly security updates for only about a year now, it is "standard procedure" for the company to include security fixes in out-of-cycle releases such as the Diagnostics patch. It is, however, unprecedented for Oracle to inform customers of such security fixes, Integrigy said.
Oracle probably took this step to speed up adoption of the patch, the consulting firm said.
"My guess is that it's just serious enough that they really felt it was necessary to release it early," said Johannes Ullrich, chief technical officer of the SANS Internet Storm Center.
Oracle's next security update is scheduled for April 18.
Oracle customers can find more information about the patch (document ID: 226429.1) on the Oracle MetaLink site.
