CVE-2006-3700
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedOracle 9.2.0.8+ or Oracle 10.2.0.2+ (or migrate to 11gR2+/12c for full support)
- 1. Identify the current Oracle Database version using SELECT VERSION FROM V$INSTANCE;
- 2. Download and apply the July 2006 Critical Patch Update (CPU) from Oracle Support for immediate patching, or plan for a version upgrade
- 3. For Oracle 9.2.0.6: Upgrade to Oracle 9.2.0.8 or later (9.2.0.8 was the terminal patch set for 9i)
- 4. For Oracle 10.1.0.4: Upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.2 or later (10.1.0.x is unsupported; migrate to 10gR2 or higher)
- 5. After upgrade/patching, restart the Oracle Database instance
- 6. Verify the XMLDB and Web DAV components are properly configured post-upgrade using SELECT COMP_NAME, VERSION, STATUS FROM DBA_REGISTRY;
