Oracle has released almost 50 patches to address
security vulnerabilities in its database, application server,
e-commerce and enterprise management products.
There are 12 Oracle database flaws and another 12 in application
server products. The Oracle E-Business suite of products has 17
flaws. There are others in Oracle's collaboration and management
products.
Oracle said the patches varied in seriousness according to the
privileges needed by potential attackers to compromise
systems.
Many of the patches are cumulative, so installing the latest
patch for a particular system will also protect users from
previously announced vulnerabilities.
