Tuesday, OracleThe company announced that they plan to stop automatically developing security patches for all systems running their software. In the future, they will develop different patch packages based on user requests.

Oracle's various versions of database software and business application software are widely run on a variety of operating systems, and Oracle has always been releasing security repair patches for all of these software. But with the release of the patch package, which is scheduled to be released in December, this situation will change, because the company says there are some patch fixes that almost no users can download and install.

Eric Maurice, security manager of Oracle, wrote in his blog: "Some platforms and versions have been rarely used for a long time, so replacing the system with updates for these rarely used software packages, in the future, we will only update and release the patch package for software that users need."

Oracle will continue to include some fixes in the main code, the application programs to be released in the future, and the patch pack, and these product updates not only include security vulnerability fixes.

Oracle announced a change to their update plan while releasing the fix patch for January. According to Oracle, critical patch updates include the repair of 36 security vulnerabilities in all Oracle products, 14 of which exist in database software widely used by major companies, some vulnerabilities can be remotely exploited by anonymous attackers.

Oracle said in a security consultation: "In the face of the danger of being successfully attacked by others, Oracle strongly recommends that users Install Vulnerability repair patches as much as possible ."

However, Oracle customers using Windows operating systems will have to wait until April 30 to obtain database repair patches. According to an Oracle representative, Oracle has not provided any updates to the database software 9.2.0.8 release running on Windows due to quality issues.

The next Critical Patch Update of Oracle will be released on December 31, July 17.
