After a record-setting week of Microsoft and Adobe security patches, 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.
RamzAfzar has issued a homemade patch for the CoolType.dll zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, but Adobe is urging users to wait for the official patch due October 4.
