Hi,
I have noticed a slight difference with the kernel release for Alma compared to rocky and rhel for example. I was writing to ask if this is an expected diverge because of the recent centos repo issues or a mistake from the auto generated errata and updateinfo for the package.
The question is on the errata page for --> https://errata.almalinux.org/8/ALSA-2023-5244.html
The required kernel version is 4.18.0-477.27.2.el8_8 and this is reflected in the updateinfo in the repo however looking to "upstream" and alteratives like rocky you can see the same security advisory id generated from rhel is showing the required kernel version to be --> 4.18.0-477.27.1.el8_8
So as you can see I am just wondering if this is a mistake in the generated output for Alma or an expected diverge as the difference to me is rebooting thousands of servers or not to apply security updates :D
Sources for security advisories from rocky and rhel:
Rhel --> https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:5244 Rocky --> https://errata.rockylinux.org/RLSA-2023:5244
Any questions let me know
