Oracle is advising administrators to update systems following the discovery of a security flaw in the company's HTTP Server products based on Apache 2.0 or 2.2.
The vulnerable component lies in the Fusion Middleware 11g and Application Server 10g platforms, and could be exploited to cause a denial-of-service attack.
The flaw could be remotely targeted without the need for local access or valid credentials such as username and password.
Full details can be found in the Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2011-3192.
"Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply security alert fixes as soon as possible," the company said.
Oracle's release follows Microsoft's latest Patch Tuesday update which included five security fixes and an update to revoke several DigitNotar certificates which had been compromised by hackers.
Oracle is also about to deliver an update to its systems platform. The 26 September event is just days before the annual OpenWorld user conference.
