from what i understand, the fedora legacy project will try to produce
updates for critical packages. i think the link is at
www.fedoralegacy.org, though i may be wrong.
also, i think they have a yum repository for those updates, so it should
just be a matter of installing yum, making sure the repo is in your
yum.conf, and go yum update.
of course, i may be wrong as i am no longer using rh9 and below, except
for rh7.3. also of note, fedoralegacy isn't officially a part of
redhat... so if you're paranoid... =)
