RHSA-2015-1272 wrong 'updated' date?
The RHEL 6.7 GA kernel was announced in https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-1272.html. However the 'Last updated on:' field says 2015-01-12. Is this in error? The change log indicates:
Wed Jul 01 2015 Kurt Stutsman kstutsma@redhat.com [2.6.32-573.el6]

Thank you very much, Akemi, for drawing our attention to this issue.
Based on a similar report (see Sonali Agarwal's comment https://access.redhat.com/articles/1466073), a request to further investigate this issue has been handed over to our engineers.
In response, they confirmed that this issue is an error and that the field is supposed to contain the date of the push.
I'll make sure to comment on the progress of this issue as soon as I have more updates.
We are following this issue as well, as it may cause us to select updates which are newer than our target date on servers which should not receive those updates. This seems to affect a large number of packages, not just this one. When the problem is corrected will a satellite-sync correct the metadata for these errata?
