Summary | 0002608: Security erratum not included in updateinfo.xml | ||||
Description | Hello, the security erratum RLSA-2023:0835 is NOT included in the updateinfo.xml of the BaseOS repository, so tools like Katello for example won't import the erratum and therefore won't apply it automatically to registered systems. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon another erratum which wasn't included but I can't remember which one it was. Security scanners like Tenable complain about the unpatched packages, referencing the RLSA, and one has to update it manually. Regards, Christian | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | [root@web ~]# rpm -q python3-setuptools python3-setuptools-39.2.0-6.el8.noarch [root@web ~]# dnf update --security python3-setuptools Last metadata expiration check: 2:37:21 ago on Tue 14 Mar 2023 11:27:27 AM CET. No security updates needed for "python3-setuptools", but 1 update available Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! | ||||

Hi Christian, Thank you for reporting this issue. We have deployed a fix to the errata system and the fixed version of updateinfo will be published shortly. https://github.com/resf/distro-tools/commit/6915813e2ddf3e1e8a4ebb0ef6d53fa89311ce92 Mustafa |

Great, thanks a lot! I assume that all of the old missing errata will be included in the new version of updateinfo.xml as well and not only the new ones from now on, right? Best regards, Christian |
|
Yes that is correct. Updateinfo has been regenerated to include older advisories that were missed. | |
