Security News > 2020 > April > Oracle's April 2020 Critical Patch Update Brings 397 Security Fixes
Oracle this week released its April 2020 collection of security patches, which includes a total of 397 fixes for vulnerabilities affecting two dozen products.
Roughly 60 of the newly addressed vulnerabilities are considered critical severity, with more than 55 of them featuring a CVSS score of 9.8.
Customers are advised to apply the newly released security patches as soon as possible, to ensure they remain protected from attacks.
Until fixes are installed, customers might want to consider blocking network protocols that attackers could use to target the addressed vulnerabilities.
"Oracle continues to periodically receive reports of attempts to maliciously exploit vulnerabilities for which Oracle has already released security patches. In some instances, it has been reported that attackers have been successful because targeted customers had failed to apply available Oracle patches. Oracle therefore strongly recommends that customers remain on actively-supported versions and apply Critical Patch Update security patches without delay," the company notes.
