Database Security Patching from 12.1.0.1 Onwards
Starting with Oracle Database version 12.1.0.1, Oracle only provides Patch Set Updates (PSU) to meet the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program requirements for security patching. Security Patch Updates (SPU) will no longer be available. Oracle has moved to this simplified model due to popular demand. The PSU is Oracle’s preferred proactive patching mechanism since 2009.
