Correct.

It depends on the issue.  Once the issue is addressed via a bugzilla
ticket, there may be a link to a maintainer's test image (generally a
small boot.iso).  Or it might require changes that will get rolled into
the next release.

If it is a big enough issue, you wait the ~6 months for the next release. 
Or, better yet, since you know you have a problem, you use the test
releases to verify the issue is fixed.  Or, if you really want to live on
the edge, you try a network install of rawhide.
