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. The two most serious vulnerabilities were in the firm's E-Business Suite, Oracle's set of server applications for managing everything from accounting to Intranets. Both were given the highest of three threat ratings assigned by Oracle to its products' vulnerabilities.

"Our rating system is based upon likelihood of exploitation and risk of damage if the issue were exploited," said John Heimann, director of security product management for Oracle. "Either of these issues is exploitable and could result in damage if exploited."
