News, overnight, of Adobe Systems, Inc.’s (NasdaqGS: ADBE) now semi-exclusive membership in the Oracle Corporation (NasdaqGS: ORCL) ‘No Patch For You” club. Apparently, both companies are delaying their respective patch updates, slated for October due to “deadline issues”… Oops. More information, including a short snippet of the original post appears after the jump.

From HeiseSecurity Online: “Adobe and Oracle delay their patch days – Update“

Both Adobe and Oracle have delayed planned October releases of security updates for their products. Oracle’s reason for delaying its patch day is the OpenWorld 2009 Oracle conference taking place from 11th to 15th October, which generally attracts large numbers of administrators responsible for Oracle installations. Since this would force administrators to choose between not attending the conference and delaying installation of the updates, the vendor has decided to put its quarterly Critical Patch Update (CPU) back a week from 13th to 20th October. Subsequent CPUs will then revert to the normal schedule: 12th January 2010, 13th April 2010 and 13th July 2010.
