Oracle is gearing up for a major update of its own next week.

Next Tuesday, the database vendor will release its quarterly Critical 
Patch Update, which "contains 38 security vulnerability fixes across 
hundreds of Oracle products," according to an advance notification 
posted to Oracle's Web site.

database, which will get 16 bug fixes. Six of these flaws may be 
exploitable over a network without any type of authentication, Oracle 
said.
