Solution:
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Go to $FMW_Home/utils/bsu.
2. Edit bsu.sh (for UNIX) or bsu.cmd (for Windows).
3. Here you will find the following: MEM_ARGS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
4. Increase these values as needed: for example, to "-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m".
rerun the patch using below command:
bsu.sh -patch_download_dir=$FMW_Home/utils/bsu/cache_dir -prod_dir=$FMW_Home/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=<Patch name> -verbose -install
