I don't think that there is a supported way to do that. The main problem is the library, the place where the user-installed packages are stored. While it's not impossible to take a library from R-4.2, transplant it to R-4.4, and selectively upgrade only the packages that need to be reinstalled, it takes manual effort and a lot of care, so libraries in general are considered to be incompatible between major or minor R versions [1]. (They should stay compatible between patch versions.) Do I understand it correctly that you're only interested in the Windows builds of R? If you need the upgrade to change as little as possible, you can try to take the source code for the R version you would like to fix, apply a single patch [2] on top of it, compile R using the corresponding version of Rtools [3] and replace R.dll with the updated version. The version of R will remain old, but the installation will be formally immune to CVE 2024-27322. It should work, but there is no written document promising that it will work.
