    The security bulletin lists the correct patches for the
    security problem concerned.

    Those are the current patch revisions.  There is no
    need to install the newer revisions in case you have already
    fixed the security problem with the patches released a month
    or more ago.
    
    There is no security problem with installing the "out-of-date" patches
    and you will have trouble getting the old revisions from Sun.
