Hello, I am using CentOS 5.5
I planned to update the kernel rpm because of vulnerabilities came out lately.
The new redhat updated kernel would be 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5
Also Scientific Linux did and update to the kernels according to redhat advisories
but I have seen that CentOS is still bound to kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
so no security update is available.
I was wondering if this is normal or not.
thank you
Riccardo
excuse me, could you be more helpful ? Actually I am not able to get any security update from CentOS 5.5 repo. Is there something I must change in the repo files ?
thank you

What he meant was that you could do this:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=centos+mailing+list+archive&l=1
And go through the archives. There are plenty of information about your question there. But to summarize it again, there has not been any CentOS5 updates since early January (just check the announce list, available above) since they are working hard on getting CentOS 5.6 ready.
Otherwise, I recommend you to get familiar with what's called netiquette, like this one: http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php Also look at the bottom of the web page from the link above as well. (Hint: top-posting)
kind regards,

The kernel you're expecting is not an update for 5.5 but a part of 5.6. 5.6 (along with 4.9 and 6.0) is currently being built and tested by the CentOS team. The short and frustrated first answer you got is due to an excessive flood of "is it done yet? what's going on?"-type threads over the last few weeks (consult the archives...).

Minor correction: 4.9 is released: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.9 (Final) [root@localhost ~]#uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-100.EL #1 Fri Feb 18 01:29:32 EST 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
SL has also just released their first alpha for their 4.9; see the SL lists for more information.
CentOS took the path of getting the updates for 4 and 5 done before 6; thus CentOS 4.9 is fully out there now.
Ok Thank you very much
