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