  25. ASAP on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch? · · Score: 1

    ASAP with some caution. Best to do at least _some_ QA on a patch that supposedly received QA from your vendor. You never know what they might have bungled.

    That said, you should assume that attackers already have the capability to exploit the problem. Implementing mitigating strategies to keep yourself at least somewhat safe while you work out the QA is a good idea too.
