Oracle's January 2013 CPU Update

January 17, 2013 By Corey Nachreiner

This week, Oracle released their quarterly Critical Patch Update (CPU) for January 2013. CPUs are collections of security updates, which fix vulnerabilities in a wide-range of Oracle products. This quarter’s updates fix 86 vulnerabilities in many different Oracle products and suites.

Refer to the table below for more details about the affected products and severity of the flaws:

Product or SuiteFlaws Fixed (CVE)Max CVSS
Database Server (and Mobile)610.0
Fusion Middleware75.0
Enterprise Manager Grid Control137.5
Virtual Box12.4
E-Business Suite96.4
Supply Chain Product Suite12.1
MySQL189.0
PeopleSoft Products125.5
JD Edwards Products13.5
Siebel CRM105.0
Sun Product86.6

Oracle’s advisory doesn’t describe every flaw in technical detail. However, they do describe the general impact of each issue, and share  CVSS severity ratings. While the severity of the 86 vulnerabilities differs greatly, some of them pose a pretty critical risk.

For instance, the updates for Oracle Database Server fix vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of 10—the highest possible severity rating. One of these flaws allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to potentially gain complete control of your Oracle database server. If you manage any of the affected Oracle products, you’ll want to install the corresponding updates as soon as you can. You’ll find more details about these updates in the Patch Availably section of Oracle’s alert. — Corey Nachreiner, CISSP (@SecAdept)

    sites to read content, but this web site gives feature based articles.

    When someone writes an post he/she maintains the idea of a user in his/her mind
    that how a user can be aware of it. So that’s why this paragraph is amazing.
    Thanks!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own
    blog and was curious what all is required to get set
    up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Even if you have the time but you don’t know a lot
    about them, you can just end up with extra costs.
    There are a few drawbacks of these electrical vehicles as well though.
