(InfoWorld) - Oracle will release 46 patches on Tuesday for products including its Oracle Database 10g, Application Server, and E-Business Suite. Oracle Database will get 20 fixes, two of which patch vulnerabilities that could allow remote execution of code on the network without authentication. The most serious of the database vulnerabilities is ranked "medium" in severity, according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, used to rank the severity of security flaws. The E-Business Suite will get 14 patches, also for vulnerabilities that could be exploited over a network without a username and password. Three of the four patches for Oracle's Application Server fix problems that could also be exploited remotely. The remaining patches are for Oracle's Collaboration Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools, PeopleSoft Enterprise Customer Relationship Management and PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management. The fixes, along with the product versions affected, are listed in an Oracle advisory. OracleÂ released 37 patchesÂ in April, its previous round of software fixes. Â

After kicking off 2008 with just two security updates in January, Microsoft plans to release one of its largest bundles of patches ever next Tuesday.Twelve security updates are set to be released next week, the software vendor said Thursday in a note on its Web site. Seven of these have been given Microsoft&#39;s most serious rating of &quot;critical.&quot; The remaining five are rated &quot;important.&quot;The critical updates are for Microsoft&#39;s Windows operating system, Internet Explorer and the company&#39;s Office software, all of which are frequent targets of hackers. Here&#39;s how they break down: Two of the critical updates are for Windows, and there is one update each for Internet Explorer, Office, Office Publisher, and Microsoft Word. A critical update is also being readied for the VBScript and JScript scripting languages used by Internet Explorer.By exploiting vulnerabilities in these applications, attackers could, in theory, run unauthorized software on a victim&#39;s PC, Microsoft warns.The less-severe updates will be for Windows Vista, Active Directory, and Microsoft Works. Two important updates are also planned for the Internet Information Services Web server software.Microsoft releases its security updates on the second Tuesday of each month, a date known as &quot;Patch Tuesday&quot; in IT circles. Last year it released a total of 69 updates, an average of just under six per month, so next week&#39;s 12 releases are sure to keep IT administrators busy.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft will release six sets of security patches next Tuesday, four of which will fix critical flaws in the Windows operating system. The software will be released as part of Microsoft's regular monthly security release, known informally as "Patch Tuesday." Microsoft is also planning less critical updates for Visio and Windows Vista, the company said in a note, published Thursday. Microsoft considers an update critical when the flaw could be used by an attacker to remotely run unauthorized software on the victim's machine, theoretically leading to the propagation of an Internet worm. This month, Microsoft has revealed a few more details on the upcoming patches than it has in the past. That's part ofÂ a new plan to help IT administratorsÂ better prepare for Patch Tuesday by letting them know exactly what versions of Microsoft's products will be affected by the updates. Last month, Microsoft released seven groups of patches on Patch Tuesday.
