The Critical
Patch Update (CPU) for October 2012 was released on July 16, 2012.
Oracle strongly recommends applying the patches as soon as possible.
The Critical Patch Update Advisory
is the starting point for relevant information. It includes a list of
products affected, pointers to obtain the patches, a summary of
the security vulnerabilities, and links to other important documents.
Supported products that are not listed in the "Supported Products
and Components Affected" Section of the advisory do not require new
patches to be applied.
Also, it is essential to review the Critical Patch Update supporting
documentation referenced in the Advisory before applying patches, as
this is where you can find important pertinent information.
