Oracle have announced a CPU pre-release feature

January 12th, 2007 by Pete

Post to del.icio.us   Post to Furl   Digg!

I saw today that Oracle has released its first "Critical Patch Update pre-release announcement" which is a new service that will give advanced news of the forth coming CPU's. The next CPU is due on january 16th. next Tuesday. This first advanced release details CVSS ratings and details of the components that are affected and also the versions affected. There are 52 fixes in the january CPU and ten of them can be remotely exploited without authentication.

This is another good improvement from Oracle and well done to them for this, releasing advanced news of the patch can help customers plan and decide what to do about applying it. Good for Oracle.
