Which repo to update to the latest Oracle 7.6 RHCK?

Very simple question, but hopefully one that can be answered. We've been locked in to using Oracle 7.6 on our systems for application interoperability reasons, and so we managed to use the following direct URL's in the repo file, to grab from ULN / externally :

[ol7_u6_base]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 6 installation media copy ($basearch)

baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL7/6/base/$basearch/

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1


However, unlike with a yum mirror which enables one to use the xx_xx_patch repository, the public repos only have the base media installation base repo available, meaning it will always show '3.10.0-957.el7' as the latest for 7.6. I was wanting to update the kernel to 3.10.0-957.27.2.0.1 to address vulnerabilities and for general security updates.

Howdy, Stranger!
