Those packages will eventually appear in CentOS mirrors (except they
are for CentOS-4, not -5). :-D
The bug fixes (marked RHBA) may not get a high priority as security
fixes (marked RHSA) do. So, they may lag a bit when the developers
are tied up with more urgent tasks.
You can see what you current have on your system by:
rpm -qa glibc\* nptl\* nscd
That will give you a hint as to which packages you want to update.
