Just want to add this. At least this is how I understand it. I hope someone on this forum who actively works with C++ or C application development can validate or correct me.
It is a shared library patch for C++. If your application is dynamically linked against this shared library, you will only need to restart your application. In this case restarting your oracle DB or any other app that uses the shared library will make sure it will start using this new patched library or the next time you reboot, it will use the new library. Hence patch notes are missing any indication to reboot or apply in single user etc.
But if you are using an in house or custom app, which is statically linked, you may run into issues, if the patch deprecates any option that your custom app was using. In that case you may need to back out the patch or recompile against the patched library.
Having said, that, I would still go with some of the above suggestions on applying in single user :-), just to minimize any errors.
