List "Severity" of security updates

[chew224]

Hi all,

First post, looked through the forums and couldn't find anything similar. I am wondering if there is a method to list the "Severity" of a security patch (i.e. low, medium, high, critical). I have tried:

Code: Select all

yum updateinfo all

and I get some useful results, but nothing that specifically indicates the severity/importance of a given security update.

output:

Code: Select all

===============================================================================
  python-rsa-3.4.1-1.el7

Any help is appreciated.

The CentOS repos don't contain the necessary metadata for that to function with packages from base or update. Only EPEL has it currently.
