4. News: Security Researchers Lament Lack of Info on Oracle
Patches
Experts say that Oracle's first monthly patch release was a
nice first try, but next time they'd appreciate more
information on just what exactly got fixed and why they
should apply the patches. Also, security researchers noted,
there are still flaws that await fixing--some more than a
year old. Read what analysts and users had to say.
