In the modern digital landscape, minimizing downtime is crucial. Applying security patches and updates often requires system reboots, leading to service interruptions. Live patching addresses this challenge by allowing you to apply critical updates to the kernel and key libraries without rebooting your servers. This ensures continuous security compliance and system availability.

Shared libraries like **OpenSSL** and **glibc** are fundamental to the operation of many applications and services. Vulnerabilities in these libraries can lead to serious security breaches, such as unauthorized data access or remote code execution. Traditionally, updating these libraries requires restarting the services or applications that use them, which can cause downtime.

**QEMU** is the emulator and virtualizer used by Proxmox VE to run virtual machines. Vulnerabilities in QEMU can pose significant risks, potentially allowing attackers to escape from guest environments or cause denial-of-service conditions. Traditionally, patching QEMU requires stopping or migrating virtual machines, which can be disruptive.
