Oracle Linux 8 Security Updates

Today’s topic is very important, we will know the various types of security updates available in Oracle Linux 8, before working on the practical part, we will know some basic definitions of what is CVE and ELSA.
CVE, short for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, is a list of publicly disclosed computer security flaws. When someone refers to a CVE, they mean a security flaw that’s been assigned a CVE ID number.
Security advisories issued by vendors and researchers almost always mention at least one CVE ID. CVEs help IT professionals coordinate their efforts to prioritize and address these vulnerabilities to make computer systems more secure.
CVE Details: https://linux.oracle.com/ords/f?p=130:21

ELSA, Enterprise Linux Security Advisory, is nothing more than a way to consult and get details of security holes or bugs and which packages must be updated or have been affected.
ELSA Details: https://linux.oracle.com/ords/f?p=105:21
For this example I used the outdated Oracle Linux 8.0.
 
1 - Checking for security updates available for download and installation.
    Verificando atualizações de segurança disponiveis para download e instalação.
