Hi team,
Security patches isn’t not showing from CentOS 5,6 and 7.
Tried Steps:
First I installed yum install yum-security package
Then I tried yum update –security
But getting these message
No need to update for security patches , 80 available
Thanks, Selvin

My similar run said 2 packages available.
When I run without the –security option 2 packages are available to update.
I presume those 80 available updates are not security related.

No,
CentOS Linux does NOT use the –security option of yum.
The reasons why have been discussed on this list several times.
You must use yum without the security options for CentOS Linux.
There is no way, other than maintaining your own repos and repodata, to get only security updates in CentOS Linux.
There never has been a way to do that in any version of CentOS Linux.
