Quote:Yesterday, Oracle released its quarterly critical patch update (CPU) for Q3 2018, the October edition, during which the company fixed 301 vulnerabilities.

Of the 301 flaws, 45 had a severity rating of 9.8 (on a scale of 10) and one even received the maximum 10 rating. Vulnerabilities that receive this severity ratings this high can be exploited remotely, with no authentication, and the exploit chain is accessible even to low-skilled attackers, even to those with no in-depth technical knowledge.
