Issue

Applications sometimes flag older cURL versions as security risks.

Key Points

  • The servers run Red Hat Enterprise Operating Systems
  • Red Hat employs "backporting," a process where security fixes are applied to stable software versions
  • Despite appearing outdated by version number, the software remains secure

While the version number may appear to be out of date, you can be assured any security fixes have been retrospectively applied to guarantee they remain secure.
