Packages Updates

[Darvin Denmian]

Hello,

Mark -> this solution is based in a php compilation, right? And if i
need newest version of php compiled by RedHat?

Another questio:

Like in OpenSuse systems, i like to know the reason why i need to
upgrade a package, eg:

bind -> bind: spoofing signed mesages

Patch: bind Type: security Version: 426

This update improves the verification of return values of openssl
functions. Prior this update it was possible to spoof answers signed
with DSA and
NSEC3DSA. (CVE-2009-0025)

References:
464462 (bugzilla): bug number 464462


There is something like this in Red Hat systems?

Thanks!!
