Dear All We scan some of our critical systems (RedHat) by Nessus, and we found a lot of Vulnerabilities. Some of this Vulnerabilities are related to unused software like (ImageMagick, mozilla , RealPlayer, etc) since this system is a web server. And other Vulnerabilities are related to the kernel or to the web service. We try to patch the system to close all Vulnerabilities that were found (and this seem the optimal solution) but we cause a conflicted and the system was down, so we remove the patches. I'm asking about the procedure that we can fallow to patch a critical systems. Are we should patch all the Vulnerabilities ? or just the Vulnerabilities that related to web service (since it's the only open port), how can we patch this kind of systems. How we can minimize the risk of using unpatched system ? Do you have any Idea ? With Best Regards,
