Determining what security fixes have been backported

RPM Command

The rpm command can be used to determine what fixes have been backported as follows:

rpm -q --changelog pkgname

will show the package changelog, where vulnerabilities that have been patched in a package are listed.

 

Another place to look for information on a vulnerability is on http://nvd.nist.gov. You can search by Vulnerability number.
