And let the patching games continue
Joining the club is Adobe who is releasing their update as well to Reader and Acrobat http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-09.html
Update
Joining the "and me too" club is java with update 20. Two security fixes by the looks of the release notes. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u20.html
Happy patching, as always test before doing production and Friday 5pm is never a good time to push out updates.

ClamAV 0.94 EOL Reminder
A reader reminded us of the impending April 15 deadline for the support of ClamAV version 0.94 and earlier. ClamAV will be releasing signatures greater than 980 bytes on May 15. ClamAV version 0.94 and earlier will not be able to deal with these. To prevent issues on April 15 there will be a signature released that effectively disables version older than 1 year (version 0.94 and earlier). The application will not start.
Most of you will no doubt already be using a later version, but the product is used in many a gateway and is used as part of a number of commercial appliances. If you are not certain what version you are using, you may wish to do a quick check.
Some more information is here http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/2009/10/05/eol-clamav-094/

Oracle has released 47 critical patches (Includes SUN patches)
Just when you thought you had finished patching for the week. Oracle has released 47 security fixes for its products. This includes the SUN products. In addition to this there will be a number of additional patches that address interdependencies between products. If you are running Oracle products you'll want to have a look here http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/cpuapr2010.html to see if your product is affected. As always make sure you test before putting it into production.
