Reasons for update:
The new version of the plugins resolves security vulnerabilities. Along
with this we have included some minor enhancements in RHSM Download Plugin
and RHSM Download Cacher to check certificate validity.

Actions to take:

   -

   Gathering of the Patching Support site version 1287 or later will have
   the new content available.
   -

   From the “Manage Download Plug-ins” dashboard select each Plug-in with
   the following state of “New Version Available” and click on the “Upgrade”
   button. Then you must use the “Configure” button to reapply any required
   proxy and/or 3rd party vendor credentials. If you do not require a proxy
   configuration, simply leave the requested entries blank with no values and
   proceed with the configuration process.
