Priority and severity ratings

This is a guideline to help our customers prioritize updates and to assess the security impact of known software vulnerabilities.

The definitions of the priority ratings are:

Priority	Definition
1	This update resolves vulnerabilities being targeted, or which have a higher risk of being targeted, by exploit(s) in the wild for a given product version and platform. Lime recommends administrators install the update as soon as possible. (for example, within 72 hours).
2	This update resolves vulnerabilities in a product that could be at elevated risk. There are currently no known exploits. Based on previous experience, we do not anticipate exploits are imminent. As a best practice, Lime recommends administrators install the update soon (for example, within 30 days).
3	This update resolves vulnerabilities in a product that has historically not been a target for attackers. Lime recommends administrators install the update at their discretion.

The definitions of the severity ratings are:

Severity	Definition
Critical	A vulnerability, which, if exploited would allow malicious native-code to execute, potentially without administrators being aware.
Important	A vulnerability, which, if exploited would compromise data security, potentially allowing access to confidential data, or could compromise processing resources.
Moderate	A vulnerability that is limited to a significant degree by factors such as default configuration, auditing, or is difficult to exploit.
