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?

The 10_Recommended update failed on 3 of 191, which was patch 119254-73 (the 1st 2 patches were skipped).

GIT-QUILTIMPORT(1) Git Manual GIT-QUILTIMPORT(1)
NAME
git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
SYNOPSIS
git quiltimport [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
DESCRIPTION
Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the
quilt patchset.
For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author specified with
--author. If the --author flag was not given the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to interactively enter the author of
the patch.
If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description.
OPTIONS
-n, --dry-run
Walk through the patches in the series and warn if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit a patch. At the time of
this writing only missing author information is warned about.
--author Author Name <Author Email>
The author name and email address to use when no author information can be found in the patch description.
--patches <dir>
The directory to find the quilt patches and the quilt series file.
The default for the patch directory is patches or the value of the $QUILT_PATCHES environment variable.
