Oracle Fixs 30 Security Flaws

In line with its policy to release updates every quarter, Oracle offers several updates that resolve multiple vulnerabilities in its products.According to the advisory released by Oracle, the updates correct over 30 security flaws in the products in the Oracle range.

The full list of products affected by the security problems and additional information are available in the advisory published by Oracle at http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/pdf/cpuapr2006.html

Many of the security problems are critical, as they could allow access and modification of confidential data or control of the system.

According to Oracle, certain conditions, such as run permissions or a valid session, are required in order to successfully exploit many of these vulnerabilities.

Due to the high number of security flaws resolved and the severity of some of these vulnerabilities, we recommend all users of affected products to refer to the Oracle advisory and install the corresponding updates as soon as possible.
