Just like Microsoft does Oracle first time in the history notifies its customers about upcoming critical security update it is about to release in January 16.

"Oracle Database Executive Summary

This Critical Patch Update contains a total of 27 new security fixes for Oracle Database products, 10 of which may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e. they may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. 1 fix is applicable to Oracle Database client-only installations, i.e. installations that do not have the Oracle Database installed"

Good stuff!! (I mean the fact of systematic security updates for the customers)

Subscribe and get patched once it is out!! Or better move to SQL 2005 :) which have not had any security issues so far since it was released (touch wood and long life SDL!!!)
