Did you look at a system before posting? Or just shoot from the hip?
[herrold@centos-4 ~]$ lynx -dump http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2007-0365.html | grep -i srpm SRPMS: SRPMS: [herrold@centos-4 ~]$
no linked SRPMS
And they have a packaged Sun Java available http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2007-0223.html (that's the link for rhel4 but I think there is one for 5 too).
[herrold@centos-4 ~]$ lynx -dump http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2007-0223.html | grep -i srpm SRPMS: [herrold@centos-4 ~]$
no linked SRPMS
... cannot prove the fix exists to me so far. Sad that Red Hat feels it has to play these games.
but I see in my mirroring:
/mnt/nfs/var/ftp/pub/mirror/redhat/rhel/rhel-5/5Server/all/SRPMS/redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-17.el5.src.rpm
dunno when it showed up and it is not worth checking my detail logs, because:
Johnny notes it has been updated and is in updates which have been issued over a week ago -- it is a convenience fix, and not a security matter
has been updated and is in updates:
version: redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-17.0.1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
released 7/22/2007
and _looking_, yum shows it updated on myC5 system
Les ... you have an open bug -- you think it is fixed upstream. No SRPMS are noted in teh fix release which you seemingly were able to find. The tests I did, you can do.
Why not lend a hand and point to available source RPMs rather than carp on the mailing list on stale matters?
If you dislike non-security related updates notifications, write a tool to provide you information on the changes.
