Oracle deploys patches

Oracle has rolled out 43 security fixes for a range of applications, including its flagship database, Oracle Application Server, E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise and WebLogic Server, states PC World.

The most severe vulnerability, which affects versions 9.2.0.8 and 9.2.0.8DV, can potentially allow an attacker to gain full control of a vulnerable server, according to Oracle.

The patch update addresses eight issues with WebLogic and AquaLogic products, including JRockit, and WebLogic server plug-ins for Apache and IIS Web servers.

Square 9 Softworks, a business solutions developer, has introduced Image XChange to its SmartSearch Content Management Suite, enabling businesses to archive business applications, says CMS Wire.

SmartSearch is built on the .Net platform, uses a service oriented architecture that stores documents in their original format. This means stored documents can be accessed by users exactly as they were built with no alterations.

Combining this open file format with Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 database engine, it can be integrated into any other database in the company and provides a platform for easy data exchange.

Zoho has revealed that its applications, Zoho Docs, Mail, Calendar, Tasks and Planner will be available as open compatible gadgets on Facebook, Gmail and iGoogle, reports ZDNet.

The gadgets can be embedded into sites or added to iGoogle or Gmail without entering credentials. On Facebook, Zoho can also be added as a gadget.

While Zoho's move is aimed at consumers, the company intends to create gadgets for its business applications such as CRM, invoice and meeting. Zoho's primary focus remains business applications.
