October 2012 Critical Patch Update Advisory from Oracle
Any and most software today is vulnerable to security concerns. Oracle, after being a victim to a successful threat to its security has introduced Critical Patch Update or CPUs, patches that help fix multiple security vulnerabilities that are often found in various customers' systems. It is important that customers using Oracle solutions apply these patches as soon as they are made available. It is important to understand that these patches are cumulative in nature, where the current patch is updated with all the previous patches but it is often seen that the company only has to implement the changes in the current patch rather than go on implementing everything. Read on to find out more about how these patches are useful and what software or solution they help best.
