You can find them in the archives - a couple I found by a quick scan: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-August/165910.html https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-August/165867.html Basically the updates build against 7.4 and that was only released to the CR repository a week ago. See https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-August/165930.html and https://seven.centos.org/2017/08/cr-repository-for-centos-linux-7-1708-released/ It will all make it into the main repositories in due course. Remember that CentOS is a community distro and as such resources are limited so things don't happen immediately. If the timing of the release of updates is critical to you, then your best bet is to pay for a RHEL subscription. P.
