Regarding application of security patches RHEL 5.5
Hi
Is there a direct way to apply a particular security advisory on the system.
Presently we have certain security advisories to be applied which require installation of multiple rpms and their dependencies.
These rpms as listed in the security advisory also mention that they have been outdated by other releases.
So the question is that is downloading and applying all such rpms the only way to confirm to the security advisory or there is some other direct way to get the security advisory updated at the system.

/usr/etc/sec/secsetup
Description
The command is an interactive facility that allows you to enable the enhanced security features on your system. You must first have loaded
the enhanced security subset onto your system before running the command.
The command allows you to configure your system either for security auditing, trusted path, enhanced login, or any combination of those
features. In addition, the command may add lines to the file. To remove entries from the you must edit it by hand. The command only adds
lines to this file if they aren't already present. You can run while the system is in multiuser mode (however, some inconsistencies may
result from this. See the Security Guide for Administrators for more information). To run type the following and then answer the ques-
tions that follow:
# /usr/etc/sec/secsetup
Depending on the security features chosen, when completes you may need to replace your system's kernel and reboot the system. For example,
chosing either the security auditing or trusted path feature may require you to re-build your kernel.
