Vulnerability Patch

Definitions

1. A patch issued to correct a known vulnerability or reduce the risk from it. In practical security work, vulnerability patches are judged not only by technical correctness but by how quickly and clearly they can be deployed.

   In plain English: A patch released to fix a known vulnerability.

   Example: "They backported the vulnerability patch to the supported older branch because a full-version upgrade was not realistic for every downstream operator."
