ETSI EN 303 645 Provision 5.3-8: Timely security updates

Security updates are delivered in a timely way, with timeliness judged by the issue, the fix, reachability of devices and resource constraints, and with priority for fixes to critical vulnerabilities with large-scale effects. Where several stakeholders (library vendors, device maker, platform operator) are involved they cooperate to achieve it, and users can be told through a bulletin once a fix exists. Status in Table B.1: M C (12) (mandatory, a shall provision; conditional on an update mechanism is implemented).
