We used RedHat boxen extensively at my last company as web servers, and 
never had any problem getting hold of security patches, without signing up 
to RHN.

Take a look at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/

Of course it helped that we were on various security mailing lists so that 
we were getting regular updates. Redhat even provide you with details of 
these at http://www.redhat.com/support/alerts/

I'd recommend subscribing to bugtraq.

HTH,
