      Description of problem:

      After each patching cycle, management requires valid and accurate data for installed errata per host. Currently, the built-in report in Satellite (e.g., “Installed Errata” report) generates misleading results.

      Example from last patching cycle:

      Host: Rhel8.example.com (RHEL 8.10)

      Host: Rhel9.example.com (RHEL 9.6)

       

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

       

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Patch multiple hosts running different RHEL minor versions (e.g., 8.10 and 9.6). Generate the applied errata report.

      2. Login to Satellite WEB UI >  Monitor > Report Templates > Host - Applied Errata(Generate with default values).

      3. Compare with per-host data (yum updateinfo list installed + rpm -qa --last).

       

      Actual behavior:
      The Satellite report shows both hosts having the same set of errata installed.

      However, the list of errata is a mixture of RHEL 8.10 and RHEL 9.6 advisories.

       

      Expected behavior:

      The Installed Errata report should accurately reflect per-host data, equivalent to the combination of:

      yum updateinfo list installed

      rpm -qa --last

      Each host should only list the errata actually applied to its packages, along with advisory ID, package name, and installation date.

      Business Impact / Additional info:

      Incorrect reporting to management.

      Inability to provide compliance evidence after patching cycles.

      Risk of misinterpretation of patching status and security exposure.
