Ethereal and other Security Questions

I know this is an official FAQ, but I've been wondering about it and
wanted some specific answers. After getting the ethereal RHSA just now,
I wondered aloud...is Fedora Core vulnerable? How about the recent CUPS
and coreutils RHSAs? When I mentioned it on fedora-test a while back, I
was informed that it was:
your problem.
the current beta was/is only beta/test
Fair enough, it was a test release, I accept that. Now Fedora Core is
at Release Level 1 and hopefully considered a full release and not a
test. So, I ask again, what is the security/bug procedure of Fedora
Core? Is there a "FCSA" list out there that mimics RHSA that I can
subscribe to? I'd like to remove RHSA at some point unless it starts to
cover FC1.
Should I grab the Red Hat 9 packages to shore up these security holes if
the FC1 packages don't cover them (e.g., get ethereal*.0.9.16 until an
FC1 release appears)?
