Security patches released for OBIEE 11.1.1.7/11.1.1.9, and ODI DQ 11.1.1.3
Oracle issued their quarterly Critical Patch Update yesterday, and with it notice of several security issues of note:
- The most serious for OBIEE (CVE-2013-2186) rates 7.5 (out of 10) on the CVSS scale, affecting the OBIEE Security Platform on both 11.1.1.7 and 11.1.1.9. The access vector is by the network, there’s no authentication required, and it can partially affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- The patch for users of OBIEE 11.1.1.7 is to install the latest patchset, 11.1.1.7.150714 (3GB, released – by no coincidence I’m sure – just yesterday too).
- For OBIEE 11.1.1.9 there is a small patch (64Kb), number 21235195.
- There’s also an issue affecting BI Mobile on the iPad prior to 11.1.1.7, the impact being partial impact on integrity.
- For users of ODI DQ 11.1.1.3 there’s a whole slew of issues, fixed in CPU patch 21418574.
- Exalytics users who are on ILOM versions earlier that 3.2.6 are also affected by two issues (one of which is 10/10 on the CVSS scale)
The CPU document also notes that it is the final patch date for 10.1.3.4.2. If you are still on 10g, now really is the time to upgrade!
Full details of the issues can be found in Critical Patch Update document, and information about patches on My Oracle Support, DocID 2005667.1.
Presentation Slides and Photos from the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015, Brighton and Atlanta
It’s now the Saturday after the two Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015 events, last week in Atlanta, GA and the week before in Brighton, UK. Both events were a great success and I’d like to say thanks to the speakers, attendees, our friends at Oracle and my colleagues within Rittman Mead for making the two events so much fun. If you’re interested in taking a look at some photos from the two events, I’ve put together two Flickr photosets that you can access using the links below:

We’ve also uploaded the presentation slides from the two events (where we’ve been given permission to share them) to our website, and you can download them including the Delivering the Oracle Information Management and Big Data Reference Architecture masterclass using the links below:

Last Chance to Register for the Brighton Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015!
It’s just a week to go until the start of the Brighton Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015, with the optional one-day masterclass starting on Wednesday, May 6th at 10am and the event opening with a reception and Oracle keynote later in the evening. Spaces are still available if you want to book now, but we can’t guarantee places past this Friday so register now if you’re planning to attend.
As a reminder, here’s some earlier blog posts and articles about events going on at the Brighton event, and at the Atlanta event the week after:
- Announcing the Special Guest Speakers for Brighton & Atlanta BI Forum 2015
- More on the Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015 Masterclass : “Delivering the Oracle Big Data and Information Management Reference Architecture”
- Announcing the BI Forum 2015 Data Visualisation Challenge
- RM BI Forum 2015 : Justification Letters for Employers
- Realtime BI Show with Kevin and Stewart – BI Forum 2015 Special!
- Previewing Three Sessions at the Brighton Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015
- Previewing Four Sessions at the Atlanta Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015
- BI Forum 2015 Preview — OBIEE Regression Testing, and Data Discovery with the ELK stack
We’re also running our first “Data Visualisation Challenge” at both events, where we’re asking attendees to create their most impressive and innovative data visualisation within OBIEE using the Donors Choose dataset, with the rule being that you can use any OBIEE or related technology as long as the visualisation runs with OBIEE and can respond to dashboard prompt controls. We’re also opening it up to OBIEE running as part of Oracle BI Cloud Service (BICS), so if you want to give Visual Analyser a spin within BICS we’d be interested in seeing the results.
Registration is still open for the Atlanta BI Forum event too, running the week after Brighton on the 13th-15th May 2015 at the Renaissance Atlanta Midtown hotel. Full details of both events are on the event homepage, with the registration links for Brighton and Atlanta given below.
- Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015, Brighton – May 6th – 8th 2015
- Hosted at the Hotel Seattle, Brighton Marina.
- Rittman Mead BI Forum 2015, Atlanta – May 13th – 15th 2015
