Security updates for AlmaLinux 8
Fixes follow Red Hat's RHEL errata and are published as AlmaLinux Security Advisories (ALSA), sometimes ahead of Red Hat. Read more about how security updates work on AlmaLinux.
How OS Checker tracks it
OS Checker compares each machine's installed packages against the official repositories and uses AlmaLinux's own security advisories, so an update is flagged as a security update exactly when AlmaLinux says it is.
