    While most of the fixes for Java, Database, and MySQL are run-of-the-mill, four are rated critical if the targeted user has administrator privileges

      Oracle issued a gargantuan quarterly patch update this week, fixing a whopping 248 vulnerabilities across its product portfolio. Despite its size, Oracle Database, MySQL, and Java accounted for just a third of the fixes in the January Critical Patch Update.

      The January CPU addressed seven vulnerabilities in the Oracle Database Server, three for the Oracle GoldenGate component, eight in Oracle Java SE, and 22 in Oracle MySQL. The update also closed nine issues in Oracle Virtualization and 23 in Oracle Sun Systems Product Suite, which includes Solaris. As has been the case with previous CPUs, the lion's share of the fixes focused on Enterprise applications including Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion Middlware, and Oracle PeopleSoft. All four patches with Common Vulnerability Scoring Standard scores of 8.0 or higher were for Java and Oracle Database.
