If there is a problem with a software package provided by CentOS (base / updates), then it can only be solved if a ticket and case is opened with the upstream dsitribution as CentOS just rebuilds what Red Hat offers in their RHEL package set.
There have been more than 100 related bugs in the redhat bugtracking before the bugs have been close without fixing them.
You could show that you are interested in those bugs by reopening all related bugs that have not been fixed yet. Note that a bug does not go away if you increment the distro version number without upgrading software.
If you like to avoid that similar discussions will pop up from time to time, I recommend you to upgrade to recent original software. This is the best grant from preventing your users to ask related questions. You then could close the named bugs as "fixed".
