The instructions are pretty specific on this. CD to the directory into which you copied the CPUJuly2007 file before expansion and run opatch with these arguments.

napply ./6079591 -skip_subset -skip_duplicate

Where 6079591 is the appropriate patch number. You will something along the lines of the following

INFO:Checking skip_duplicate
INFO:Checking skip_subset
INFO:These patches will be skipped because they are subset patches of some patch(es) in the Oracle Home: 6

121260
INFO:OPatch continues with these patches: 6079591,6121183,6121242,6121243,6121244,6121245,6121246,6121247, 6121248,6121249,6121250,6121257,6121258,6121261,6121263,6121264,6121266,6121267,6121268

Since you have read about napply I assuke you know that you need to rollback CPUApril2007 first assuming you have applied it, and you may also need to apply another patch, for me it was 6162478 before applying CPUJuly2007.

I found it interesting and a bit troubling, that Oracle addresses more than security bugs in their CPU's

Is there a way to force opatch to apply all patches with one command?
