Oracle Patch Update, April 2024 Security Update Review

Oracle's April 2024 Critical Patch Update fixes 441 vulnerabilities across many product families (notably Oracle Communications with 93 patches), with ~70% addressing third-party/non-Oracle CVEs; several issues are network-exploitable and include critical CVEs (e.g., CVE-2023-47100, CVSS 9.8). The advisory lists product-specific patch counts (Databases, Fusion Middleware, E-Business Suite, MySQL, etc.), provides Qualys QIDs and QQL queries to identify affected hosts, and recommends applying available patches via VMDR to remediate missing updates.
