Because the update replaces key parts of the system, a restart is required after installation for the security fixes to take effect.
How is the installation done?
Administrators can install the new version either through the system's web-based management environment or using the built-in package management tool.
Due to the urgency of the situation, the changes originally planned for this release have been moved to the next one, Core Update 206, which is already in testing.
