Moderators can of course change the title, I don't think it's misleading and I was not trying to be. I guess 'reports' could be changed into 'finds' and it could be mentioned that it was found 'in its Linux kernel', not sure when the character limit would hit. 'current LTS kernels are not used in older Linux distros' - not sure what your point is with this. They absolutely could have used / can use LTS kernels if they wanted to or they could merge LTS-kernel changes which they apparently don't.

"Red Hat finds security issue in Linux Kernel that had been fixed upstream for 17 months"
- m4r71n 6y ago
  More like "Red Hat assigned a CVE to a security issue reported 17 months ago": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1708775 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1708775 I don't see what the big news here is, it's merely identifying a vulnerability with a proper CVE ID, end of story. The issue itself does not even have a serious security impact so it will likely never be fixed in RHEL.
