=================

For the first one -- https://scout.docker.com/v/CVE-2021-33503 Redhat website says the first is Not Affected

For the 2nd one https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-26137
Redhat says it is addressed in the version we have installed: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:1631
( if you click on updated packages it shows python-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.src.rpm as being updted.

For the 3rd one https://scout.docker.com/vulnerabilities/id/CVE-2019-11236
It says < <1.24.2-2.el8 is vulnerable -- we have python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch which is greater -- and is the patched version.

Not sure why these are showing as vulnerabilities when we have patched version from redhat.

Could be something to do with the "version" shown in scout finding only has the point release and not the - redhat modified version that contains the backport of the fixes.

e.g SCOUT thinks we have pkg:pypi/[email protected] but we have 1.24.2-5
