Oracle has just issued its first ever pre-release announcement flagging up no fewer than 52 new critical patch updates which will be formally issued this week. The system adopted is just similar to that adopted by Microsoft but is far better than it as the company has announced to release a list of the number of security fixes and the Common Vulnerability Scoring System code for the most severe fix in each major product category.
The patch will be very convenient for the users as it will also include the details for different products and components, this will provide the users with better understanding of using the patch and save them fixing for the applications seldom used by them.
The patch will include 27 fixes for Oracle database products, 12 for Application Server, seven for E-Business Suite, six for Enterprise Manager and three for PeopleSoft.
