One of two generally accepted methods: Patches and Updates. Patches being small changes to the program that are much smaller in scope than wholesale Updates, which are much more sweeping in their changes and often result in a version number change (i.e. Version 1.0 to Version 1.1)
The correct spelling is "flaws".
They are called vulnerabilities.

The Weibull Modulus is related to the distribution of flaws in a brittle specimen. It is important to note that it isn't relate to the size of the flaws. To find the Weibull Modulus, many samples of the same material are tested, in tension, to failure. If the flaws are evenly distributed throughout the specimen, the data from the the tests will show little statistical scatter and result in a high value of the Weibull Modulus. Conversely, if the flaws are unevenly distributed causing the test data to differ greatly from sample to sample (greater flaws means more opportunities for stress concentrations at those flaws, causing a lower failure stresses) then there will be large statistical scatter in the test data, and the Weibull Modulus will be measured as a lower number.
A defect is an error or a bug, in the application which is created. A programmer while designing and building the software can make mistakes or error. These mistakes or errors mean that there are flaws in the software. These are called defects.
A Security Patch
The correct spelling of the plural noun is one word, shortcomings (weaknesses, flaws).
Businesses hire social engineers to test flaws in their business security policy so that the business may correct these flaws before someone exploits them for profit.
If it is compatible with your system, does the job you need it to do, and doesn't have any security flaws or major bugs, then yes.
A vulnerability scan is the automated process of proactively identifying vulnerabilities of software and computing systems in a network to determine if and where a system or network can be exploited and/or threatened. Vulnerability scanning usually employs software that seeks out security flaws based on a database of known flaws, testing systems for the occurrence of these flaws and generating a report of the findings that an individual or an enterprise can use to improve the network's overall security posture. The primary goal of a vulnerability scan is to reduce the vulnerability of a software application, a database, a computer, or a network of computers to hacking, denial of service, infection, and other security risks.
You cannot replace it with another compatible part which is better [hardware], integrated software cannot be removed and its security flaws are there to stay, even though you can get updates to patch some there will be hidden ones
