Oracle plans to stop automatically producing security patches for all systems its software runs on, instead creating fixes for uncommon combinations on request, the company said on Tuesday.
Analyst group Gartner has warned administrators to be "more aggressive" when protecting their Oracle applications because they are not getting enough help from the database giant.
Oracle has shrugged off criticisms of its recent security record, saying that one of the company's biggest concerns is that its customers are so used to being secure that they are not used to applying patches.
Serious unpatched security flaws exist in certain Oracle products, according to a German security researcher who said the software maker has not fixed the bugs despite knowing about them for two years.
Database maker Oracle warned customers on Wednesday of three new flaws in its products, and reiterated its warning to businesses of a fourth flaw that uses the company's application server.
