当你更新系统时，根据你所在公司的安全策略，有时候可能只需要打上与安全相关的补丁。大多数情况下，这应该是出于程序兼容性方面的考量。那该怎样实践呢？有没有办法让 yum 只安装安全补丁呢？

答案是肯定的，可以用 yum 包管理器轻松实现。

在这篇文章中，我们不但会提供所需的信息。而且，我们会介绍一些额外的命令，可以帮你获取指定安全更新的详实信息。

希望这样可以启发你去了解并修复你列表上的那些漏洞。一旦有安全漏洞被公布，就必须更新受影响的软件，这样可以降低系统中的安全风险。

对于 RHEL 或 CentOS 6 系统，运行下面的 Yum 命令 来安装 yum 安全插件。

# yum -y install yum-plugin-security

在 RHEL 7&8 或是 CentOS 7&8 上面，这个插件已经是 yum 的一部分了，不用单独安装。

要列出全部可用的补丁（包括安全、Bug 修复以及产品改进），但不安装它们：
