There's no generic answer to your generic question. :-)

The answer, of course, is "it depends."  With over 3600 ports, it's
simply not possible to enumerate the list of potentially affected
ports.  Simply proceed forward cautiously using your best judgement as
to when and how you upgrade a 3rd-party component.
