Errata Information published by Red Hat describing security fixes, bug
fixes, and package enhancements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The information includes the topics of the Errata, Bugzilla bug IDs,
relevant releases/architectures, solutions including required RPMs,
and MD5 checksums for verification. Errata are also available at
http://www.redhat.com/errata/
. Each RHN
Errata Alert
is based on
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata List.
Security issues and bug fixes are submitted by Red Hat engineers
as well as the Linux community through Bugzilla which generates a
bug report for each issue. Red Hat engineering evaluates the reports,
resolves the bug, and generates new RPM packages. After the Red
Hat quality assurance team tests new packages they are placed on
the Red Hat Public File Server and on the Red Hat Network Server
and an Errata is generated.
