No. 8-stream is where packages will (eventually) be available to test
software that’ll be part of the next point release of RHEL. So, for example, before RHEL 8.1 was released, 8-stream had kernel packages with a version-release close to what was eventually released in RHEL 8.1, and eventually into CentOS 8.1.xxxx.
In short and to sum it up, CentOS 8 in its current state has some unpatched vulnerabilities. They have been adressed in RHEL since October, but not in CentOS.
It's fair to say this raises a few eyebrows among concerned CentOS users.

I don't know whether the below steps are permitted. but, you can install RHEL 8.1 Developer Edition on a VM. Download the SRPM for your package. Then rebuild on the CentOS machine and install the RPM. This is just for the important fixes like security.
thanks
