Patch Tuesday - Now for 28 Oracle Products

If you are an Oracle user, get ready for your very own Patch Tuesday...

It's majestically-sized, covering 28 listed products, one of which - the Oracle Sun Products Suite - itself covers ten sub-products, including Solaris and VirtualBox. The Oracle Fusion Middleware patches cover nine sub-products, including the Oracle HTTP server. And three components in the Oracle Open Office Suite get patches, too.

The patches fix a recorded 66 vulnerabilties, of which 34 are described as "remotely exploitable without authentication". That's roughly equivalent to what Microsoft deems critical - in other words, the sort of bug which might allow a network worm to spread without user involvement.

So, this Patch Tuesday isn't just for Oracle Database customers - fixes apply to a large and eclectic list of products and components in the Oracle (and former Sun) stable. I advise you to look at the list in case you have any of them in your organisation.
