A new attack technique increases the risk of commonly found bugs in Oracle's database software, a security researcher has warned.
The high-profile RSA Conference has proven to be a worthwhile podium for Microsoft's security message, and now Oracle is following suit.
As part of its quarterly patch cycle, Oracle on Tuesday released fixes for a long list of security vulnerabilities in many of its products.
Oracle, the business software maker that has marketed its products as "unbreakable," faces mounting criticism over its security practices.
Experts are warning that the popularity of antivirus software could turn the defensive measure into a security risk.
Although many software makers promote responsible disclosure, it isn't universally backed by the security community. Critics say it could make security companies lazy in patching. Full disclosure of flaws is preferred.
