From InfoWorld: Oracle admins will be busy: The company issued 248 patches on Tuesday, its largest-ever release, according to one security vendor.
Five of the vulnerabilities have the highest severity rating according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), wrote ERPScan, a security company that specializes in SAP and Oracle systems.
Most of those vulnerabilities related to Java SE, Oracles's platform for running Java applications on servers and desktops.
In a long advisory, Oracle recommended that admins patch immediately.
"Oracle continues to periodically receive reports of attempts to maliciously exploit vulnerabilities for which Oracle has already released fixes," it said. "In some instances, it has been reported that attackers have been successful because targeted customers had failed to apply available Oracle patches."
