| Summary | 0003578: yum-security doesn't recognize when updates are released | ||||
| Description | yum-security appears to be broken; does not recognize when security updates are released, making it effectively useless. | ||||
| Additional Information | Per toracat, on the CentOS forums: Re: yum-security plugin status (2008/7/7) -- "The current status is that yum-security is still not working. You might have guessed it from the fact this is not listed in the "Resolved Issues" in the 5.2 Release Notes. Here are some words from a CentOS dev: "yes, the plan is to support it sometime in the future. exactly when is open to situational issues". CentOS devs are doing their best but with so many things going on, this particular one is probably not getting a high priority, I'm afraid." To reproduce: # yum --advisory=CESA-2009:0427 check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Limiting package lists to security relevant ones Advisory "CESA-2009:0427" not found applicable for this system No packages needed, for security # rpm -qi udev | grep Release Release : 14.16.el5 Build Date: Sun 25 May 2008 02:08:31 AM CDT # rpm -qi libvolume_id | grep Release Release : 14.16.el5 Build Date: Sun 25 May 2008 02:08:31 AM CDT # yum --cve=CVE-2009-1185 check-update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Limiting package lists to security relevant ones CVE "CVE-2009-1185" not found applicable for this system No packages needed, for security # yum info-sec CESA-2009:0427 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Argument "CESA-2009:0427" not found applicable for this system info-sec done # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) | ||||
