They are filed against the "Security Response" product, which I think is mostly just used by Fedora these days. > RH has a serious problem or two handling bugs.

It is the primary bug manager for Fedora, but not for RHEL; the primary RHEL customer bug interface is through the RHEL support channels, as noted on the BZ front page. Fedora bugs are triaged by a volunteer group that largely have nothing to do with RHEL. If a bug is reported against a no-longer-supported Fedora release, it will be closed. If the bug also applies to RHEL, you need to open a bug against RHEL (or open a RHEL support case). RHEL has separate case management systems. BZ is a way for customers to "see in the window" at some things, but is in no way an official RHEL support channel. > I think John's presuption that two of these bugs aren't fixed is > reasonable, because they are not marked "closed." Bugs against the Security Response product don't appear to be closed in any normal fashion (BZ won't even give a full list of the open bugs because there are so many). The place to look for RHEL package status is RHN. You can look at the errata pages for packages, as well as the changelogs (where I found all the CVEs he listed). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
