When RedHat Makes Patches For Only Some Versions
I guess this is really a RedHat, not CentOS question, but I’m hoping that someone here will be familiar enough with the upstream policy to have some useful information.
How does RedHat decide which versions to release patches for, e.g. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2015-7613
thanks,

It explains not all but at least the big picture …
That
Maybe or maybe not.
Redhat support policy is a bit intresting..

Backporting changes to the 2.6.32 kernel (el6) is much harder than to
3.10.0 kernel (el7) .. the further back you go, the more things are different from the items in those commits.
I am sure they will fix it, it just takes more time to do and to test.
