Subject: How RedHat Backports Vulnerability Fixes


I do some work on a couple CentOS 6.6 servers. Payment Card Industry
(PCI) scans seem to always see the server as vulnerable. I've have to
submit for a review since the server is not really vulnerable.

I don't think a lot of people understand how RHEL maintains it's
packages. I know I did not for a long time. RedHat backports
vulnerability fixes while maintaining the original version number.

Here is a great explanation :
