Today, Oracle released their January 2017 Critical Patch Update, or CPU, that resolves a massive 270 vulnerabilities across all of their products. Of these 270 vulnerabilities, over 100 are remotely exploitable without authentication. Depending on the product, this means that an attacker can either remotely attack a particular product through specially crafted programs or exploit them via malicious web sites.
Once an attack successfully exploits a vulnerability, the attacker may be able to execute commands on the affected computer without the victim's knowledge or permission.
The two products with the most security updates are Oracle E-Business Suite Executive at 121 fixes and Oracle Financial Services Applications with 37. Java, which is notorious for being used by exploit kits to install malware on vulnerable systems had 17 new security fixes. Of these 17 vulnerabilities, 16 are can be exploited remotely.
It is strongly suggested that all users of the affected Oracle products below, immediately upgrade to the latest version.

Between Oracle and Adobe. It's hard to choose which one sucks more. It's close.
