Officials at Oracle (Quote, Chart) released the company’s quarterly allotment of security fixes earlier this week, plugging 49 vulnerabilities in its software line.
The update also includes a number of non-security patches that are needed because of interdependency issues with the security patches. The “Critical Patch Update” affects the Oracle Database Server, Application Server, E-Business and Applications, and Enterprise Manager suites.
