Oracle Issues July Security Fixes
The Oracle (NSDQ:ORCL) Critical Patch Update (CPU) advisory for July has been issued with a total of 87 security patches across the company's overall product portfolio.
The most notable vulnerability involves Oracle JRockit, (CVE-3135), which is listed with a base score of 10.0, the highest and most critical rating available.
"This is like a perfect storm," said Marcus Carey, security researcher at Rapid7. "You can access it over multiple protocols, and it opens you up to remote exploits without a password. It can be accessed across the network unless there is an access controller in the middle to block the attempt. And, the attacker can get control over the full range of data. So this would, in essence, be 'game over.'"
