Recommended patchset for Solaris and the patch bundle
Hello
I recently downloaded and installed the latest patchset for Solaris 10 (update 5) running on SPARC.
Actually I am new to Solaris (I come from Red Hat) and the security department asked me to update the system for security fixes.
I logged in to Oracle support and used the recommended patch adviser. I downloaded a 2.5 GB file containing the latest (supposedly) patches available from Oracle for my OS , unziped it and installed it successfully.
When the security dept did a second assessment they found that a lot of vulnerabilities are still there! On a second search on Google i found
Patchset Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC Bundle which is also a 2.2 GB file.
Now should i download and apply this bundle? and what is the difference between this and the one i downloaded?
