Thanks - so it seems as if the version number of the packages for bumped 
up in the update releases, while the real version number was not changed 
e.g. from 11/06 to 8/07. Patches exist only for some of the existing 
package versions.

Patch 121211 applies to that system.

There's no patch which applies to that system.

Patches 125952 and 136897 apply to that system. They are installed no my 
Solaris 10 8/07 systems.

If the above mentioned patches don't show up as missing patches, they 
must be installed already. Try:

   pca -p 'Web Console' -l all

and see if installed revision is equal to current revision (IR = CR).

We had some discussion about these and other Web Console patches 
recently (Sun created different patches for Solaris 8/9/10, although the 
software is the same on each release of Solaris). They really created 
quite some mess here.

Sun probably has a security issue here - if there is a security patch 
for Web Console 3.0.2 on Solaris 10 8/07, one can assume that the same 
problem exists in Web Console 3.0.2 on Solaris 10 11/06, but there is no 
way to fix this until Sun produces another patch.
