OEL6 yum updates

User_6FZDYMar 17 2022

Hello,
I am trying to install some CVE updates, but don't know how to download them. For example, here is a CVE perl-5 patch from May 2021 (https://linux.oracle.com/errata/ELSA-2021-9238.html)
The errata webpage shows package perl-5.10.1-144.0.1.el6.i686.rpm, but does not offer a way to download the package.
When I check the OL6 public yum repo, it only provides an older version of perl-5.10.1-144.el6.x86_64.rpm from 2017 (https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/index.html).
I know that Oracle employed a new set of yum repo definition files. However, when I run the /usr/bin/ol_yum_configure.sh script, it shows no repos in (yum repolist). So if this will resolve the CVE update installation issue, I'll need to investigate that further.
Thank you
