Enhanced Oracle Product Enumeration on Linux

Change

Nessus Plugin 71642 identifies Oracle product installations on Linux platforms. Previously, the plugin searched for the product configuration file comps.xml in each Oracle home. The plugin now searches for this patch information in other subfolders of the Oracle home when the file is not present in the standard locations.

Impact

Customers should expect more accurate enumeration of Oracle products, potentially resulting in additional vulnerability reports.

Plugin
