[CentOS] Upgrade security relevant packages

[Chris]

Hello Zdenek,

Thanks for your answer. Is satellite 5 out of life? I see there is version
2.4 from October this year. 
I have no objections to stick with an older version when I can have
"satellite 6", but what you mean with find the components?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

please be aware that the Spacewalk was an OSS variant of Satellite 5. I
would strongly recommend to build a "Satellite 6" from the OSS components.
Just check the Satellite 6 @ Red Hat Customer Portal to find all the
required components.
