The first is a 'securityonly' yum plugin, which will only install updates flagged as security. At the moment the updateinfo.xml.gz metadata, which contains this information, is only being generated for core updates, thus making this plugin only partially useful. I'm currently working on coding up a new and improved updates system[0] for Fedora (encompassing core/extras/legacy) that will give us this metadata for all updates.
That would be nice - a Microsoft-esque "automatic update" solution would be less annoying if it can be limited to just security updates.
The second tool I'm working on is a standalone script to query package update notices via the commandline (by CVE/bug/package/etc). More on that in the near future.
