Changes

You can't do a full deployment since you would deploy changes that aren't tested or approved yet. In this case, you could create a patch, only containing your hotfix, and deploy that.

Another problem could arise though. Usually, the version of your solution has been changed already when you come to that point, which makes the created patch unusable (because of the mentioned version constraints). A solution to that would be a hotfix environment that contains the same version of your solution as production. Either you have this environment always running or create it when needed from an unmanaged solution which should be stored in your repo (see {{ALM}}).
