Security assessment

Change updates a documentation URL without altering security guidance or addressing vulnerabilities.

Evidence

+  * Amazon Linux will stop evaluating and fixing CVEs for the redis6 package in Amazon Linux 2023 on `2026-01-31`. This is an extension from the previous [package support statement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/all-packages-AL2023.12.html) which stated that support for Redis 6 ends on `2025-08-31`. With the release of Redis 8, upstream security support for Redis 6.2 will be ending in 2025. For migration instructions, see the [migration guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/redis6-to-valkey-al2023.html).
