Vendor-packaged SLEM 5 security patches and updates must be installed and up to date.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Timely patching is critical for maintaining the operational availability, confidentiality, and integrity of information technology (IT) systems. However, failure to keep SLEM 5 and application software patched is a common mistake made by IT professionals. New patches are released frequently, and it is often difficult for even experienced system administrators (SAs) to keep up with of all the new patches. When new weaknesses in a SLEM 5 exist, patches are usually made available by the vendor to resolve the problems. If the most recent security patches and updates are not installed, unauthorized users may take advantage of weaknesses in the unpatched software. The lack of prompt attention to patching could result in a system compromise.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
