Oracle to ship critical database fixes next week
Oracle will release patches for a slew of products next week, including fixes
for two nasty vulnerabilities for its database software.
In total, Oracle plans to release 41 bug-fixes next Tuesday, but users are
likely to pay particular attention to two bugs in the database that can be exploited
over a network without a username and password. Oracle plans to ship 17 database
fixes in all.
News of next week's patches was announced
Thursday on the company's Web site. More details on the updates will be
released on Tuesday, but Oracle said that versions 9i, 10g, and 11g of its database
are affected.
The next most-patched product will be Oracle's E-Business Suite, with 11 bug-fixes
affecting the Advance Pricing, Application Object Library, Applications Framework,
Applications Manager and Applications Technology stack components.
Three fixes each are expected for the company's Application Server and PeopleSoft
products. The Siebel SimBuilder and Enterprise Manager software will also be
patched next week, Oracle said.
