Install security plugin for yum

Hello,

To see if this is installed and enabled, look under /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/security.conf — it should have a line that reads “enabled=1”. If not, you’ll want to enable that.

root@server01[~]#yum install yum-security -y

After you install the yum security plugin you will be able to check for only security updates.

root@server01[~]#yum --security update
Loaded plugins: presto, priorities, refresh-packagekit, security
Setting up Update Process

 Yum checks for any security updates and if available, prompts for your confirmation to install them. 'yum --security update' command ignores all other updates available.
 
 Thank you.
