Oracle 'Worm' Exploit Modified

answers writes "Two months after an anonymous researcher released the first public example of an Oracle database worm, the exploit code has been advanced and republished, adding new techniques to attack databases. From the article: "It's still very theoretical right now, but I don't think any DBA should be underestimating the risk," said Alexander Kornbrust, CEO of Red-Database-Security GmbH. "If you're running a large company with hundreds of valuable databases, a worm can be very destructive. It is very possible to use this code to release a worm. I can do this right now if I wanted to.""
