How To Check Available Security Updates On Red Hat (RHEL) And CentOS System?
======
As per your organization policy you may need to push only security updates due to varies reasons.
In most cases, it could be an application compatibility issues.
How to do that? Is it possible to limit yum to perform only security updates?
Yes, it’
In this article, we are not giving only the required information.
Instead, we have added lot more commands that help you to gather many information about a given security package.
This may give you an idea or opportunity to understand and fix the list of vulnerabilities, which you have it.
If security vulnerabilities are discovered, the affected software must be updated in order to limit any potential security risks on system.
For RHEL/CentOS 6 systems, run the following ** [Yum Command][1]** to install yum security plugin.
```
# yum -y install yum-plugin-security
```
The plugin is already a part of yum itself so, no need to install this on RHEL 7& 8/CentOS 7& 8.
To list all available erratas (it includes Security, Bug Fix and Product Enhancement) without installing them.
```
# yum updateinfo list available
