Ensure Applicable Patches Are Applied
Descripción
Apply available Apache patches within 1 month of availability. Obviously knowing about newly discovered vulnerabilities is only part of the solution; there needs to be a process in place where patches are tested and installed. These patches fix diverse problems, including security issues. Manual review: the benchmark gives no reliable automated check for this control.
