Is Oracle really posting ELSA security advisories on rhn.redhat.com? Seems rather unlikely...

In this case Oracle is posting security advisories for its "Unbreakable Enterprise kernel", not the Red Hat kernel.

Hmm, looks like a typo (of sorts) in the Oracle advisories. Most Oracle advisories just point to the Red Hat equivalent, which, of course, doesn't exist for these (as it is Oracle's own kernel, not the RHEL-derived kernel, from what I can see). Someone must have forgotten to fix that up.

Those are impressively ancient versions of VMware in Gentoo. (The continued existence of something called "VMware Server" is kind of a giveaway.)
Good on the Gentoo security team for issuing an advisory about it, but I'm surprised nobody noticed earlier.
