If you are on version 8.1.7 you can apply patchset 2 which includes all
the
listener patches and some added database patches.

I believe the patch was only released for certain Oracle versions. I
have
it for 8.1.6.3.1 for sure (I'm happy to send or ftp a tarball if you
want
it), and I think it's available for some 8.1.7 versions. I don't think
they
backported it though.

Here's the information... I've included the CERT advisory and
a cut-n-paste from Metalink.
