Not sure how I would be expected to know that... the URL gives no
indication, the issues are equally applicalble to RHEL as well as
Fedora, and the only place the word "[Ff]edora" appears is in comments.

Neither page refers to those fixes.  I'm sure that there is errata that
gives that info, but since it isn't referred to on those bugzilla
pages...

That page specifically mentions:

Fixed In Version:       5.5.26-1jpp.1 

That implies that 5.5.23 would still be vulnerable.  Same point as
above... the bugzilla page does not help me find an answer.

It would help if TFM had anything to read about the issue at hand :-)

The resources I found with Google did not address my questions.  I have
no doubt that Red Hat employees, being intimately familiar with the
various systems and content therein find stuff like this painfully
obvious.  But to those of us who do not live and breath Red Hat errata
and simply look for one answer at a time, what I've found is deficient.
It might be perfect for internal tracking, but it was, clearly, of less
help to me than it could, or should, have been.  By plan or accident,
these bugzilla pages are what come up in a Google search.  If they're
not the "right" place to find answers, maybe some SEO would be in order.
