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 :cool: There are some new commands for CVE's and Bugzilla #'s . http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Security_Guide/sect-Security_Guide-CVE-yum_plugin-using_yum_plugin_security.html
