Well, today is the day. At 4 pm (EST) the folks at Oracle will release their list of patches 45 in all. Ryan Naraine has a nice synopsis of this over on ZDNet.

From Zero Day:

Database server giant Oracle plans to ship patches for a total of 45 security vulnerabilities on Thursday (July 17), bringing the vulnerability count for 2008 to a whopping 112.

Since January 2006 (this CPU included), Oracle has shipped fixes for a total of 572 vulnerabilities.

According to a pre-release analysis, the vulnerabilities affect hundreds of products, including all supported Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server, and Oracle E-Business Suite versions.

This is the first Critical Patch Update that includes fixes for BEA WebLogic, Hyperion BI, and TimesTen Database.

My vulnerability made the cut for this release as well. Stay tuned.
