Thanks !

It was pulled off because the scan detection is vulnerable and welcomes DOS attacks. You will have to set the scan detection to "Do Nothing" immediately if you installed the package.


Serious flaw and once again Sun screwed up. They should have posted it up on their download patches site.

Well that is totally true but if you enable the firewall/scandection you can see that you are getting a big security flaw by a security popup in the install.

I disabled the firewall the moment i installed the pack. Seems to have more problems anyhow...

Sometimes I do question the guys at Sun and their patches.

At first I was all happy with their release, now I am all miserable.


hmmm I didnt get a security popup in the install last week when I installed it.

Its happened before and will happen again :mad:

Theyve released updates that breaks stats and other stuff

The worste part is they (atleast in the past) dont help you remove it and wont support it!
