That is actually exactly what it means. RedHat backports security fixes to 5.3 in order to support it, even though 5.3 is not fixed upstream in PHP

- snowwrestler 8y agoTo be more specific, Red Hat is is backporting these security fixes into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and that's why (one reason why) RHEL costs money. People pay for RHEL when they want someone else to manage a distro for security and stability; this is one example of how Red Hat does that. CentOS then gains the benefit of this work when Red Hat passes their changes downstream to CentOS.
