Oracle has plans to deliver 46 security fixes for its customers by July 
17.

According to an Oracle security announcement, the patches will plug 
security holes in Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, Oracle 
Collaboration Suite, Oracle E-Business Suite and Applications and Oracle 
PeopleSoft Enterprise products. The most serious of the flaws—two 
vulnerabilities affecting Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise products—have a 
CVSS score of 4.8.

Twenty of the 46 fixes address issues in the database, and two of the 
flaws can be exploited remotely over a network without the need for a 
username and password. Fourteen others fix flaws in the Oracle 
E-Business Suite and Applications, six of which may be remotely 
exploited without authentication.

In addition, four fixes are slated to be issued for Oracle Application 
Server, and three are to be issued for Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise 
PeopleTools. Three of the flaws affecting Oracle Application Server can 
be exploited remotely.

The upcoming July 17 fixes are part of the company's Critical Patch 
Update releases, issued four times year. The last batch, in April, 
featured 36 security fixes.
