What is patch management?
Patch management is the process of identifying, evaluating, testing, and applying software updates that fix defects or security weaknesses. For Linux systems, it can involve tracking relevant advisories, deciding which updates apply to particular systems, and deploying them in a controlled way. Organizations use patch management to keep software maintained and reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities.
What is a security advisory?

Users and administrators can consult advisories to determine whether their systems are affected and what steps may help address the issue.
