software patch
Code correction release
A software patch is a piece of code released to fix bugs, close security vulnerabilities, or make minor improvements to existing software.
Patches are typically small updates applied to programs already installed, distinguished from major version upgrades.
Make sure to install the latest security patches.
The term borrows from the idea of patching fabric—a small repair to something already in use.
