| **Note:** security fixes for packages can be applied on older 19.07.X releases, without the need for a full system upgrade. It can be done by upgrading the affecting packages with ''opkg update; opkg upgrade the_package_name''. | **Note:** security fixes for packages can also be applied by upgrading only the affected packages on running devices, without the need for a full firmware upgrade. This can be done with ''opkg update; opkg upgrade the_package_name'' or through the LuCI web interface. |
