Dear Darvin,

I have a subscription to https://rhn.redhat.com  The Red Hat Network. This
web site lists every package and errata and provides the type of
information you list below. It is a paid for subscription but does make
answering the questions you are asking very easy. So yes, Red Hat does
provide package descriptions, if there are newer versions and errata
details.

It appears they have a public side too
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0449.html

Otherwise your next resource will be the original package's web site to
find that information.

I also found you can look at errata at  http://cve.mitre.org/cve/

And some flavors of linux also list errata    http://bugs.gentoo.org/

Hope this provides some resources for you.

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!!
