The ones on RHN will be the latest, released versions for RHEL5. Understand these may _not_ be the latest "upstream" versions. Please see "Backporting of Security Fixes" for more information: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting/ And the main, public RHN Errata pages also detail updates (including CVE numbers addressed): http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/ On the system itself, the "changelog" of each packages will is the CVE numbers, BZ numbers and other security, ticket, etc... numbers that are addressed in updates. E.g., # rpm -q --changelog kernel | grep -i CVE Do _not_ trust package version numbers for security fixes. _Only_ trust the documented CVE numbers in the errata/packages themselves. -- Bryan J Smith Professional, Technical Annoyance Linked Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith ------------------------------------------------------------ "Now if you own an automatic ... sell it!
