Upgrade path from 9.3P18

[SVHO]

Currently, we are 9.3P18 and would like to go to 9.7P22 to meet the CVE-2022-38023 requirements.

Based on this link below stating we need (direct multi-hop,requires images for 9.5 & 9.7).  Does that mean 9.5P19 and 9.7P22?  Also do I need to hop on 9.3P21 first before I do anything?

So far on my download options, I am seeing those sequence versions.

Thanks again.

There's not ever really a need to update to the latest version of 9.3.    So should be fine there.    

I would do 9.5P (latest) and then to 9.7p22+

utilize the upgrade advisor in ActiveIQ as well.

Thank you as always!

Is there a reason to stop at 9.7?  Even 9.11 or 9.12 are both very stable with their latest P releases.  9.13 just went GA this week and I wouldn't recommend that yet.  There are a LOT of performance and bug improvements in more current releases along with some really nice features.

We will see how much time we have on our maintenance window.
