As you can see in the announcements of 4.1b2 and 4.1b3, they contain all
available updates.

The e-smith team evaluates all RedHat security updates to evaluate whether
the security flaws they address are applicable to the e-smith server and

updates will be posted in the "updates" section of our ftp site and will
be announced on our web sites.
