[CentOS] Security updates for CentOS-5

2011-03-09 Thread Mark Foster
Hello, I was wondering why there haven't seemed to be any security
updates for centos-5 since Jan 6. Per
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-errata.html there are a ton of
outstanding issues.
Thanks.

All of those apply to 5.6 ( where apply implies that they link into 5.6 
code; which literally just got finalised in the last day or so ).

Having said that, I've done a fair bit of work on the updates and hope 
to get them released into the 5.5/updates tree either later today or 
tomorrow. It might be a case of first hosting them into a testing repo, 
publicly so more people can confirm that deep linking and inherited 
issues are no longer a 'breaker'. But that testing will need to be 
fairly short and sweet, keep an eye on centos-devel for more info

See the on-going thread kernel vulnerabilities and/or search the arhives.

My solution at least for the kernel, was to get the src.rpm from RedHat

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.src.rpm

and build the kernel myself.


CentOS staff is working now hard full time for 5.6 release, so since 
January there has not been any update.
