<p>Dear community,<br>
<br>
I would like to ask a following question:<br>
<br>
- How are CVEs handled in CentOS Stream? The answer in faq<br>
page (<a href="https://centos.org/distro-faq" target="_blank">https://centos.org/distro-faq</a>)
states that security<br>
issues will be updated in CentOS Stream after they are solved<br>
in the current RHEL release. However, CentOS Steam 8 solved<br>
CVE-2020-15437 (kernel) while RHEL 8 has not (as of February
17,2021).<br>
Does the order of security updates between RHEL and CentOS
Stream<br>
depend on the situation?<br>
<br></p></div></blockquote><div>There's a bit of nuance to this question in that policy states that CVEs should be fixed in RHEL before CentOS Stream. However, there are a couple of practical problems this introduces that we work around by shipping in CentOS Stream first. For example, we may do a rebase that contains a CVE fix. Everyone universally agrees we don't want Red Hat engineering CVE vulnerabilities back into CentOS Stream that may have been fixed by a rebase. In this scenario, a CVE fix may go out in Stream before a RHEL release.</div><div><br></div><div>There are also some scenarios around lower and moderate CVEs where we run into practical issues maintaining a "RHEL" patchset and a "CentOS Stream" patchset. In that scenario a CVE might get fixed in CentOS Stream first.</div><div><br></div><div> -Mike</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>
