Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using CENTOS 7. This should receive the Red Hat Update cycle releases until 2024, right?

Right. > It doesn't provide it because that information from Redhat is > proprietary and not open source. This is not my understanding. From what I can see, updates which patches CVEs are freely readable on Red Has site. For example: CVE: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2021-3156 UPDATE: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0221 Historically the CentOS team refused to provide such metadata due to the added work required. Now with Stream, and the demise of classic CentOS, security updates are even less probable (ie: a rolling release is often wholly updated).
