It exists in yum since CentOS is a RHEL rebuild and upstream provides that errata data for RHEL users. If you set up something like Spacewalk then you can use something like CEFS to import that errata data to make --security work for centos systems. https://cefs.steve-meier.de/ Potentially you could use a combination of his work, a bit of scripting and createrepo to provide your own errata data. *That all being said* apply all errata still applies whenever issues arise ;) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Don't spare any gory details either! yum does not need to be restricted to vendor repositories. You can add package repositories maintained by anyone, and some of them may choose to distinguish between security and non-security updates, so it is appropriate for yum as packaged in CentOS to retain that feature even if the CentOS repositories themselves do not make use of it. Personally I think it is a dumb option and is in contrast to KISS. KISS says keep your system up to date. RHEL/CentOS works really hard to prevent updates from breaking a system. That's why many of us use it. So it doesn't make sense to not update when an update is available, making security specific updates kind of worthless. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Host all the RPMs every built in one place that every update can hit. 2. An errata.xml file that contains information that is NOT open source and not allowed to be gathered by CentOS. (Although James Hogarth provided a link to one elsewhere in this thread) First for #1: We utilize several hundred servers and free bandwidth that they provide that are donated to the CentOS Project to distribute updates. This 'donated network' makes up the DNS names mirror.centos.org, msync.centos.org, and cloud.centos.org, etc. We use this network to distribute CentOS Linux to more than 630 servers (external mirrors) in 85 countries all over the world. We could not provide CentOS for free for the last 13 years if we did not have both the hundreds of donated machines that make up mirror.centos.org (and msync.centos.org) OR those external mirrors. The vast majority of our donated mirror network servers do not have room to host all the RPMs from all active centos versions in one place and to distribute them to the vast external server network. We can't afford to replace the hundreds of donated (free) servers with ones that CAN host that amount of data AND also pay for enough bandwidth to distribute it to the external mirrors. Even if we could, not all the current 635 mirrors would be able to take all that data. This is one of many reasons why there is a subscription price for RHEL. Even if we DID all of that. Other than returning a cou0ple of updates with the yum security plugin command, you STILL need to run 'yum update' to get all the updates as JUST doing the security ones is not supported / does not necessarily fix the security issues. Then there is #2: The information that goes INTO the XML file we would need to generate does not come from the source code from Red Hat Enterprise Linux that we use to build CentOS Linux. It would only from screen scraping places like: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-7-errata.html BUT, if you go to the 'terms of use' for Red Hat portals .. here: https://access.redhat.com/help/terms/ You will see the definition of "Red Hat Content". While we CAN distribute the software we build (it is open source) .. we *CAN NOT* scrape and/or Distribute content that is *NOT* open source but us copyrighted intellectual property. To the best of our knowledge, the information needed to make up all the information needed to create the Errata XML file requires to make the yum security plugin work is not available in a complete open source way where we would be able to be distributed. That is *WHY* the CentOS team does not copy and distribute any content into our announcements, but only links to open content in our announcements. So, we can not distribute the information that is required in the XML file that would make the yum security plugin work .. *BUT* even if we could, you *STILL* need to run 'yum update' to get all the updates as JUST doing the security ones is not supported / does not necessarily fix the security issues. Hopefully this makes sense. You can instead just look at this: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ (or subscribe to the CentOS announce mailing list to get emails) Both of those places will tell you when there is a security update. OR, you can subscribe to RHEL and use the information in the yum security plugin. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I normally test my updates on non-critical systems before deploying to production.

[CentOS] C7 minimal (1511) firewalld is not installed: logical?
I just installed a host with CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso It seems that firewalld is not included in the minimal set. I wonder why? If I recall correctly CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso did include it. And, this could be a very stupid question, am I running without a firewall or just without a way to control my firewall?

It was originally created by YellowDog Linux project for their Linux distribution. I don't know is they (YellowDog) actually using this particular feature or not, but RedHat (and hence CentOS) use features of yum they think fitting in their model. Incidentally, sometimes even when the project uses his own creature itself, they may end up abandoning some of the features that were originally coded in.

Re: [CentOS] OpenSSL Update - not a security update???
One more voice on this: we actually run the yum security plugin, several times a week, and it does report things... and almost all our systems are CentOS. When I see something in there, just as when I see an announcement where there are updates marked important, and esp. critical, we roll them out, by themselves if possible, within days, as opposed to waiting until the maintenance window, which could be 3.5 weeks away. We only do the full updates during the maintenance window (or via negotiation with a workstation owner) mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] OpenSSL Update - not a security update???
I understand that some people might be trying to cherry-pick their updates and the assertion that doing so is not supported. But that is not the only way in which --security can be used and it is a bit boring to continually see whining about the assumptive use. For me it is about scheduling -- it would answer the question: Does this system need updating immediately, vs scheduled for / deferred until a convenient time. I wish --security was functional and I do not accept that because it can be abused that it should therefore never be. That CentOS as yet has no way to make it functional is sad, and I hope that the lack is not due to the assumed use resulting in it being ignored. /mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That is not the reason, I have posted the reason several times .. including in this thread. We do not have enough space on donated mirrors and the data required for the xml file is not redistributable. It is not being ignored, it was designed to be used within rhn and since we give CentOS away for free, we can't buy the machines or bandwidth we need to include all rpms in all trees.

As it was said, "yum check-update/update" is the way to go (also for RHEL). We do not need here something like SCAP, therefore http://search.gmane.org/?query=CESA&group=gmane.linux.centos.announce&sort=date gives enough informations to schedule the security activities. -- LF ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Is there a Linux driver for Nvidia's 3D vision? Now when you mention it, I'm not that sure... 8-S It's been a while since I dabbled with those pesky drivers to enable the 3D-features. "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF100GL [Quadro 4000] (rev a3)" Used a 3D-monitor as well as outputting the same 3D-image to a 3D-projector. The computer needing this was only able to output the 3D-image when we used the proprietary driver from Nvidia. I recall there were some issues enabling this on Windows 7 as well at the time, but that's outside the scope of this list. 8-) -- //Sorin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
