After Microsoft and Adobe released their largest ever slew of patches last week, Oracle users will be bracing themselves for something similar, as the business software giant prepares a whopping 38 security vulnerability fixes this week.

The firm's quarterly Critical Patch Update, set for 20 October, will contain fixes for problems across " hundreds of products", according to a pre-release announcement.

The product which gets the most attention, as usual, is the Oracle Database, which has 16 new fixes, including six for vulnerabilities which could be remotely exploited without the need for authentication.
