101 flaws have been found in Oracle's database, application server, E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft and JD Edwards applications.

Although 22 of the 101 flaws require some form of identification in order for them to be exploited, 45 can be exploited by a hacker. At least six errors in the Oracle database http server can be exploited without the hacker needing to possess a user name or password.
