Starting with the July 2008 Critical Patch Update, Oracle started using industry standard Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) identifiers rather than the proprietary identifiers used in previous CPUs. The use of CVE identifiers was adopted to simplify the identification of Oracle vulnerabilities when referenced in external security reports, such as those produced by security researchers and vulnerability management systems.
