Oracle to roll out 81 patches

Sixteen of the Sun bugs are said to be remotely exploitable. An additional seven fixes are planned for the popular Database Server, though only one of the vulnerabilities is remotely exploitable. The most severe Database flaw being patched earned a score of 7.5 (out of 10) on the company's Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).

As well, 21 fixes are slated for the PeopleSoft and JDEdwards Suite, eight for Fusion Middleware, six for the E-Business Suite, four for the Siebel Suite and two for the Supply Chain Products Suite. To round out the update, a single patch is expected for the Primavera Products Suite.

"Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply [the] fixes as soon as possible," the company said in a notification.

Last week, Microsoft announced plans to ship 16 bulletins to patch 49 vulnerabilities across its product line, including Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and the .NET Framework.
