However, there are a couple of practical problems this introduces that we work around by shipping in CentOS Stream first. For example, we may do a rebase that contains a CVE fix. Everyone universally agrees we don't want Red Hat engineering CVE vulnerabilities back into CentOS Stream that may have been fixed by a rebase. In this scenario, a CVE fix may go out in Stream before a RHEL release. There are also some scenarios around lower and moderate CVEs where we run into practical issues maintaining a "RHEL" patchset and a "CentOS Stream" patchset. In that scenario a CVE might get fixed in CentOS Stream first. -Mike > Best regards, > --- > Naoto Kobayashi > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
