  1. One important detail about patches is that, historically at least, they modify the program to fix the problem rather than merely replacing a bad file with a good one or adding a new file to the program’s library to address the defect.

  2. It’s just what it sounds like. When software comes out, there are always issues, “holes”, if you will. Patches come out to fix those things. It’s a type of “update” that is intended to fix known issues.

  3. Patches are additions to software that either add/remove options/features from the application or add security to the program.
    Example: After a hacker tunnels his way into a network and is discovered, a patch is released to prevent that in the future.
