Eexecute privilege to 'public' on tables owned by 'sys' in Orac le

["INA (V. Brahmanandam)" <BrahmanandamV () emiratesbank com>]

                                Hi all,

                                In  my current assignment of Oracle security
review,  I have noticed that the following tables owned by 'SYS' had
'execute' privilege granted to 'PUBLIC' . This privilege has been granted to
the 'public' by default, when Oracle is installed, as I understand. I would
like to know, if a general user in the database can make an undue use of
this privilege. I would appreciate any one in  this list, who had a chance
to review this earlier, offer me  some info on this. 

                                Thanks and Regards.

                                Brahma

                                 <<EXECUTE PERMISSION FOR PUBLIC.txt>>
