CentOS Stream 8 security announcement

Post by black0144 » 2021/02/23 08:45:30

Hi team,

Does CentOS Stream 8 has a way to announce package updates and corresponding CVE numbers? We used to check https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ and upstream Red Hat pages for it, but can't find anything related with CentOS Stream version now.

And BTW, for example, kernel-4.18.0-277.el8.x86_64.rpm is the latest version in CentOS Stream 8, but I can't download source RPM package from https://vault.centos.org/8-stream/BaseO ... SPackages/, nor from https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/releases, showing 404. Will CentOS team release these stuff in the future?

Thanks!

OK you've got me curious why I'm not picking up that kernel version.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Stream release 8
then

Code: Select all

sudo dnf list kernel
Librepo version: 1.12.0 with CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR support (libcurl/7.61.1 OpenSSL/1.1.1g zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.6 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.20.2 (+libidn2/2.2.0) libssh/0.9.4/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.33.0)

Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64                                             4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2                                              @BaseOS
kernel.x86_64                                             4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3                                               @BaseOS
kernel.x86_64                                             4.18.0-240.10.1.el8_3                                              @baseos
What I am missing?
SOLVED: Apparently my converting from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream as had left my system in a weird state as discussed in this post. I think I've resolved it and now have kernel 4.18.0-277.el8.x86_64 running.
