A compact flow for patching a vulnerable package manually without losing operational control.

Flow #

  1. confirm the vulnerable package is installed
  2. inspect current and candidate versions
  3. review repository, pins, and holds
  4. apply targeted upgrade
  5. restart or reload affected services
  6. verify runtime health and package version

Reminder #

Package state and running process state are not the same thing.
