Abstract
A method for updating a software component is provided, having the steps of: retrieving deployment information for the software component, wherein the deployment information includes information on program parts of the software component and the runtime configuration thereof; checking whether at least one program part has a flaw and identifying the program part; determining a runtime limitation for the program part which has been identified as having a flaw; adding runtime limitation information to the deployment information for the software component; and carrying out the deployment of the software component on the basis of the deployment information, wherein upon being ran, the software component is subject to the runtime limitation according to the runtime limitation information. Analyzing and temporarily adapting runtime configuration information of a deployment configuration for correcting flaws in software components to be updated simplifies the handling of zero-day exploit vulnerabilities.
