antaln 2020-05-26 23:34 reporter ~0036999	RHSA-* is short for "Red Hat Security Advisory", and describes vulnerabilities and fixes in RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). There is a delay between RHEL patches being released and them landing into CentOS, so there isn't much more to do than to wait, and apply any workarounds/mitigations described in RHSA until then.
