Neither am I.
But I don't recall ever seeing a Cobalt patch come from anyplace but
Cobalt/Sun or a Cobalt user. The vulnerabilities seem to be discovered
by others and whether or not Red Hat addresses any newly discovered
security or other problems shouldn't have any effect on Cobalt/Sun
making a patch. Since the Cobalt implementation is customized, I don't
think they could count on any Red Hat patch working on a RaQ.

I've never seen Red Hat mentioned, especially WRT patches.
