Then disconnect it from the internet, and disable automatic updates... easy, peasy.

edit: regarding downvotes... if the software versioning is mission critical for a system, then having automatic updates and being connected to an external network is a risk to that critical system. I wasn't trying to be pedantic, but was being perhaps more terse than some may appreciate.

>Then disconnect it from the internet

this is not a solution to a problem. it's incredibly reductive and close-minded.
