Are Previous Security Patches Included In The Critical Patch Update?
Critical Patch Update patches for most products are cumulative; patches for any product included in a Critical Patch Update will include all fixes for that product from the previous Critical Patch Updates. Critical Update Patches for all supported Oracle E-business Suite Releases are cumulative. Oracle Collaboration Suite patches were cumulative up to and including the fixes provided in the April 2007 Critical Patch Update. From the July 2007 Critical Patch Update on, Oracle Collaboration Suite security fixes are delivered using the one-off patch infrastructure normally used by Oracle to deliver single bug fixes to customers. Security patches for other products, including Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, contain fixes from previous Oracle Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts. If a previous security fix was a workaround rather than a code change, instructions on the steps required will be included in all future Critical Patch Update documentation.
