xorg-x11-server update for RHSA-2023:0675 / CVE-2023-0494?

I see a corresponding CentOS 7 update for TigerVNC for RHSA-2023:0675 (tigervnc-1.8.0-24.el7_9), but not the update to xorg-x11-server that Red Hat released at the same time (xorg-x11-server-1.20.4-22.el7_9, the latest version I can find for CentOS 7 is -21). Given that the fixed bug CVE-2023-0494 is a local root hole in the X server that's been disclosed for nearly a month, are we going to get a CentOS 7 update for it sometime soon?

Thanks, I prodded the maintainer and this has just been pushed.
CentOS 8 died a premature death at the end of 2021 - migrate to Rocky/Alma/OEL/Springdale ASAP.

CentOS 5 and 6 are dead, do not use them.
