I have no excludes in yum.conf. But I noticed something odd in the
CentOS-Base.repo file. The [updates] section didn't have an explicit
'enabled=1' in it. Though, when I added it in, it made no difference. I
have noticed that I do have some updated packages (like httpd) that are
from February and appear to be the most recent based on the mirrors, but
every mirror I hit I see no updated packages listed for this month. Maybe
there's just not been any and I'm overreacting.
But to give an example, we run several Ubuntu 14.04 LTS virtual machines
and I've have a dozen or so security related updates that I've not seen for
CentOS, like openssl (which I do have installed on it) and gnutls. I know
package names don't always match up, but these are recent known
vulnerabilities and I don't like the feeling I'm not securing my systems
properly.
Does that makes sense?
