I don't know, but at any rate I would not rely on it.

Read all the READMEs, pre-/postinstallation notes of all patches involved and all other sources of information that could be relevant. Perform a thorough Metalink search.

Oracle is exceptionally good at hiding and splitting up information that is necessary to get a task done.

Make a backup (OS and database) before you patch the database if it is a production database.
