A security patch is a general software security update intended to cover vulnerabilities that have been discovered. Whereas an update is a universal software enhancement for all customers, a hotfix is software that addresses a specific customer situation and often may not be distributed outside that customer's organization. A service pack is software that is a cumulative package of all security updates plus additional features.
