Guest,
Thanks for your inquiry. The patches required for your environment are dependent upon a number of factors (current version of EBS & technology stack, current platform, etc). Review the following to create a list of patches required for your environment:
1. The January 2016 security patches required for all components (including the technology stack) of Oracle E-Business Suite are documented in the referenced My Oracle Support Note:
• Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 11i and 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (January 2016) (Note 2072202.1)
Here is the URL for the referenced MOS Note:
https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=2072202.1
2. The technology stack (including the mid-tier) related security patches are documented in detail in the table in Section 4: Security Patches for Maintained Technology Stack Components of MOS Note 2072202.1. You may go to this table to inventory all recommended security patches for the 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 ORACLE_HOME.
Thanks.
