Oracle patched a whooping 276 security flaws, 159 of which can be exploited remotely without authentication, in more than 80 products in its largest patch bundle to date.
The bundle included 40 new security fixes for Oracle Fusion Middleware, 34 new security fixes for the Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite, 25 new security fixes for the Oracle Supply Chain, 22 new security fixes for Oracle MySQL, and 13 new security fixes for Oracle Java SE, according to a July security advisory.
