a wide-ranging security update to addressVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitymore than 300 CVE-listed vulnerabilities in its various enterprise products . The October release covers the gamut of Oracle 's offerings , including its flagship Database , E-Business Suite , and Fusion Middleware packages . For Database , the update addressesVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitya total of three flaws . Two of the vulnerabilities ( CVE-2018-3259 and CVE-2018-3299 ) can be remotely exploitedVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitywithout authentication , while the third , CVE-2018-7489 , would require the user to have a Rapid Home Provisioning account to execute and is considered by far the least severe of the three . Oracle notedVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythat all three bugs only impactVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythe server versions of Database , user clients are not considered to be vulnerableVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability. For Fusion Middleware , the update will include a total of 56 CVE-listed flaws , including 12 that are remotely exploitable with CVSS base scores of 9.8 , meaning an exploit would be fairly easy to pull off and offer near total control of the target machine . Of those 12 , five were for critical flaws in WebLogic Server . Java SE will getVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability12 security fixes , with all but one being for remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in that platform . Oracle notesVulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerabilitythat though the CVSS scores for the flaws are fairly high , Solaris and Linux machines running software with lower user privileges will be considered to be at a lower risk than Windows environments that typically operate with admin privileges . MySQL was the target of 38 CVE-listed bug fixes this month , through just three of those are remotely exploitable . The two most serious , CVE-2018-11776 and CVE-2018-8014 , concern remote code flaws in MySQL Enterprise Monitor . PeopleSoft will see 24 bug fixes , 21 of which can be remotely targeted and seven that would not require any user interaction . Just one of the 24 flaws was given a CVSS base score higher than 7.2. in the Oracle listing . Sun products were the subject of 19 security fixes , including two remote code execution flaws in XCP Firmware . libssh bug more like `` oh SSH… '' Once admins getVulnerability-related.PatchVulnerabilitythe Oracle patches in place , they will want to take a close look at the write-up for CVE-2018-10933 , an authentication bypass for libssh that would allow an attacker to get into a target machine by sending a `` SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS '' message when it expects a `` SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST '' message . That means any miscreant can log in without a password or other credential . As you can imagine , this is a very bad thing . Fortunately , the bug does not affect OpenSSH – and thus does not affect the hugely widespread sshd and ssh tools – but rather applications , such as KDE and XMBC , that use libssh as a dependency .
