> How to patch Apache 2.4.6 to latest release on RHEL 7.4?

RedHat backports patches to the base version, keeping the version
number stable within an OS release. I.e., RH-7 will maintain the
2.4.6 httpd version number. You need to look at the number after that
(currently 2.4.6-89) to see the incremental change numbering. You can
look up the CVEs against RH's change log and/or update announcements
for a package to see that an issue has been addressed. From what I
have seen, RH tends to have updated httpd packages out very quickly
following a vulnerability announcement.
By the way, RH-7 is currently at .6, which came out late last year. A
.4 system is missing about 18 months of updates.
