Oracle plans monster patch dayMicrosoft may be offering a Patch Tuesday respite this month but, if you’re an Oracle database administrator, January 13 will be a very busy day.

The database server giant announced plans for a monster Patch Day next Tuesday with fixes for 41 security vulnerabilities in “across hundreds of  Oracle products.”

The first CPU (Critical Patch Update) for 2009 includes patches for flaws that affect multiple products, the company said.  “Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply Critical Patch Update fixes as soon as possible.”

The following products are affected:
