Discussion

Security flaws with software applications are discovered daily. Vendors are constantly updating and patching their products to address newly discovered security vulnerabilities. Organizations (including any contractor to the organization) are required to promptly install security-relevant software updates (e.g., patches, service packs, and hot fixes). Flaws discovered during security assessments, continuous monitoring, incident response activities, or information system error handling must also be addressed expeditiously.

Check Content

Ask the system administrator for the procedure to install security-relevant software updates within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVMs, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs.

If there is no procedure, this a finding.

Fix Text

Develop a procedure to install security-relevant software updates within the time period directed by an authoritative source (e.g., IAVMs, CTOs, DTMs, and STIGs).
