In Linux, in general, there are not "patches" per se. Everything is a package, and if you need to get from foobar-1.25.01 to foobar-1.28.03 this is not a patch but rather an upgrade.
If you would like to see what packages you have installed, rpm -qa will show you.
The best way to see what patches you need would be to use some tool like Satellite Server or a subscription to RHN for a Red Hat machine.
