If redhat find a new bug, they of course should post it to bugtraq, full disclosure, or their communications medium of choice.
Now we're back to the same silly discussion we have every time list traffic goes up. Filter, fer cryin' out loud, and be done with it. Utility of a list is entirely a beast of your own creation. The list is a useful or useless as you make it, by the way that you use it. Just think how much fun it is for someone who has to be concerned about *numerous* systems to have to subscribe to *every* security annoucement list for *every* vendor rather than simply getting all the messages on one list - this one. Every coin has two sides. The thing that surprises me about *this* argument is that the very people who ought to be the most competent at appropriate filtering are the very ones complaining about "list flood" from "Linux" vendors (never mind the fact that this one affects damn near every platform in the world, including Mac OS X and Windows.)
