A security issue with OPR version 1.1.7



Jasper and Jan-Marten Spit have just emailed me to say that they have removed the new version 1.1.7 from Sourceforge.net. They ran into a serious security issue that they found after reading the article I posted to my blog titled "Installing Oracle Password Repository (OPR) - a walk through" which was sent to me by Mike Thomas and describes an installation session of OPR. Jasper and Jan-Marten felt the issue serious enough to pull 1.1.7 and they tell me that a new version 1.1.8 will be made available very soon - I will let you know here when it is out. I think this is a very responsible attitude to security of their software.
