If you get the answer from your client, could you share the same with us? I'm also curious to know the reason. It's very unlikely that you would not have yum, unless you have an alternative package management system in place.
Also, I don't think yum has security issues if the repository is protected and gpg checking is in place.

NAME
yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages
SYNOPSIS
yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...
DESCRIPTION
yum-versionlock(1) is a Yum plugin that takes a set of name/versions for packages and excludes all other versions of those packages
(including optionally following obsoletes). This allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer versions.
The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows you to view and edit the list of locked packages easily.
yum versionlock add <package-wildcard>...
Add a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb matching the given wildcards. yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...
Add a exclude (within versionlock) for the latest versions of the packages in the available repos. matching the given wildcards. yum ver-
sionlock list
List the current versionlock entries. yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard>...
Remove any matching versionlock entries. yum versionlock clear
Remove all versionlock entries.
FILES
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
The system wide configuration file. See yum-versionlock.conf(5) for more information.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
The default place to put package version lock information (one package and version per. line). The file takes entries in the follow-
ing format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8) for more information on custom query formats. If the package does not have an
EPOCH the number will default to 0.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
