listing security updates on server?

[nlehrer]

how do you list security updates currently on the server?

yum ...?

TIA

Assuming you have the yum security plugin installed, to list available security updates use:

yum --security check-update

To update only security issues, use, as root:

yum --security update

To check if the yum security plugin is installed:

yum list installed yum-plugin-security

... or ...

rpm -q yum-plugin-security

To install the yum security plugin (if it is not installed), as root:

yum install yum-plugin-security

And to read more about yum security related commands (with the plugin installed):

man yum-security

yum-plugin-security is a cool plugin There are some new commands for CVE's and Bugzilla #'s . http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/..._security.html
