Hallo Im using CentOS 7 Ist the 2038 year Problem solved in CentOS 7.5 64 bit Version

Well, CentOS-7 will be EOL'ed on 30 June 2024 so does it matter?

If you have code which is calculating 20 year mortgages and a base CentOS program gives you negative time in 64 bits then it is a problem even if the OS is not going to be around in 2038. [This is where problems were showing up in 1998 and 2008 when 40 year and 30 year contracts/mortgages started getting used in some sort of software and getting weird times.]
