The next scheduled security update from Oracle is Jan 16th
Oracle's next security update on its product portfolio is slated for Jan 16th 2018. I expect you will see an announcement on SPECTRE and MELTDOWN wrt SPARC then.
Oracle are saying nothing until this date I expect.
Look at their website on this here:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html
On this website they say:
Critical Patch Updates:
