Oracle shipped 673 patches. Six maximum-severity flaws needed no login.
The Oracle Critical Security Patch Update shipped 673 patches across 17 product families, CIO reported.
E-Business Suite takes 159 patches, while Fusion Middleware requires 153.
All six flaws rated 10 out of 10 can be exploited remotely without a login, according to CIO. Five sit in Fusion Middleware components: Access Manager, Forms, Internet Directory, Platform Security for Java and WebLogic Server. The sixth, CIO reported, is in Hyperion Financial Management, the consolidation tool finance teams use to close the books.
CIO counts 78 Fusion Middleware flaws and 19 E-Business Suite flaws that need no authentication to exploit. Thirteen more Fusion Middleware flaws score 9.9.
Oracle says the six maximum-severity flaws are not marked as exploited in the wild. Oracle's advisory states: "Product releases that are not under Premier Support or Extended Support are not tested for the presence of vulnerabilities addressed by this Critical Security Patch Update."
