08 Nov 2006: OVAL and Severity updates now live

Red Hat Network got a minor update last night which added a couple of new security features we've been working on:

Firstly we've added support for OVAL into Red Hat Network. This means our web site advisories contain a direct link to the relevant OVAL definition, for example https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/oval?errata=RHSA-2006:0733
Secondly, we've enhanced support for the severity classification which is attached to all our security advisories. In places that display lists of errata we now display the severity in a separate column, allowing them to be easily noticed and sorted.

These features are now live and also enhance our public interface to the Red Hat Network (no login required).
