BLUE LANE RELEASES INLINE PATCH PROXY UPDATE FOR NEW ORACLE CRITICAL PATCHES

Provides the Only Patching Alternative to Immediate Installation of the Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2006

CUPERTINO, CA, April 25, 2006 – Blue Lane™ Technologiestoday announced the immediate availability of an inline patch update for its PatchPoint™ System that instantly fixes the new database security vulnerabilities disclosed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2006. The PatchPoint System does this inline with zero changes to server software, thereby avoiding modifications to Oracle servers. Blue Lane's updates for Oracle's latest patch release allow enterprises to assure the availability of their systems until they are ready to install the Oracle patch.

The Oracle Critical Patch Update fixes specific vulnerabilities that have been identified, requiring a software update to servers to eliminate the vulnerabilities. Since there are no vendor-recommended workarounds for the disclosed vulnerabilities, without the PatchPoint system, installing the Oracle patch update is the only available mitigation.

The Blue Lane PatchPoint System provides the only patching alternative to the immediate installation of Oracle's Critical Patch Update. With the new inline patch update, the PatchPoint System fixes the database software vulnerabilities at the root cause, checking for the same conditions and applying the same corrective action as Oracle's patch update. However, because PatchPoint resides in the network in front of the server, it requires zero changes to server software. With the new PatchPoint update, enterprises can immediately secure these new vulnerabilities, gaining all the benefit of the Oracle patch until the actual patch can be installed.

"The release of Oracle's Critical Patch Update for April 2006 fixes numerous security vulnerabilities, some of which address publicly available exploits. Therefore it is imperative that customers apply the patch in a timely fashion," said Allwyn Sequeira, vice president of engineering and operations at Blue Lane. "Where immediate patching is not feasible, Blue Lane's inline patch proxy appliance provides immediate vulnerability relief, without the operational issues of patching driven by business continuity, compliance or test cycle requirements."

Blue Lane customers with an ActiveUpdate subscription can download the updates for the Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2006 immediately.
