A hot fix is a single, cumulative package that includes one
or more files that are used to address a problem in a
software product. Typically, hotfixes are made to address a
specific customer situation and may not be distributed

A hotfix is code (sometimes called a patch) that fixes a
bug in a product. Users of the products may be notified by
e-mail or obtain information about current hotfixes at a
software vendor's Web site and download the hotfixes they
wish to apply. Hotfixes are sometimes packaged as a set of
fixes called a combined hotfix or a service pack.
