Actually I don't know for sure, Red Hat provides extensive patches to
their kernels, They ship non standard kernels as a rule. Basically it is
a difference in time between 18.3 to 18.17.7.x. They accumulate patches
security and others over time and apply them.

You can read Red Hats documentation as to what they have apply, you may
have to read about them on a non-US web site as they are not publishing
the changes to the US because of our silly laws.
