Thanks,
To make it clear, if there is already a security alert about a security
issue, and after a while, another concern is come up with on this issue;
witch is the case for redhat handling it:

1, issuing another security alert(having a different alert ID as
RHSA-xxxx-xxx);
2, updating the existing one to record the new finding.
