Abstract

Patch management is one of the most important processes to fix vulnerabilities of softwares and to ensure a security of systems. Since an institute or a company has distributed hierarchical structure and the structure consists of many heterogeneous systems, it is not easy to update patches timely. In this paper, we propose a patch management framework with patch profiling mechanism and patch dependency solving mechanism. We implemented the proposed patch management framework with JAVA environments. We argue that the proposed framework can improve the patch management processes.
