Peopletools patches 8.50.14 and 8.50.15 removed

Time to time I’m checking the Peopletools patch availability on ftp://ftp.peoplesoft.com/outgoing/ptools/.
I was surprised to see the date of patches 8.50.14 and 8.50.15 more recent than the date of patch 8.50.16, so I was going into there and saw nothing but a readme.txt with such explanation :
”PEOPLETOOLS PATCH 8.50.14 HAS BEEN REMOVED. PLEASE UPGRADE TO LATEST PEOPLETOOLS PATCH.”
and
”PEOPLETOOLS PATCH 8.50.15 HAS BEEN REMOVED. PLEASE UPGRADE TO LATEST PEOPLETOOLS PATCH on 8.50.”
It should be something seriously wrong with those patches, checking My Oracle Support does not give much information except the following notes where you can read the advice to upgrade to the latest Peopletools 8.50 patch (at least 8.50.16) :
E-PIA: PT8.50.14 / PT8.50.15 End Users Kicked Out of PeopleSoft [ID 1306952.1]
E-AS: Users Kicked Out Upon Applying For A Job In PeopleTools 8.50.14 [ID 1298866.1]

Searching over Internet does not give that much information neither, we can found that thread talking about a security flaw.

Well, if you are on one of these patches, you better should 1) raise a SR to the support 2) begin a patch upgrade.
