Red Hat uses the Backporting method to address security issues in RHEL
.. and we inherit that method in CentOS:
https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting
If you are looking for a specific vulnerability .. look here:
https://access.redhat.com/security/security-updates/#/
Look up the CVE .. you can find if the issue is relevant, what version
fixes the issue, etc.
