<h1>Security and Updates</h1> <p>Red Hat releases errata to address bugs, provide enhancements, or to fix security vulnerabilities. With each erratum we supply an advisory to give details of the issues being fixed as well as how to obtain and install the required software packages.

Security Errata are the only errata released independent of these Updates.
