How do I insatll the RELATED security fix on Redhat 7.1

[Errol Neal]

Why don't you check out redhat's website? Updating the kernel does not
include "security" fixes. These are normally problems and bugs with
software that runs on the machine. I am not a red hat users. (hardcore
debian user to the end~!). Check out RedHat's website for instructions on
how to download security updates. IF, you were using debian, you could
just do this.. "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" and that would AUTOMATICALLY
download and install update software, including security fixes on your
machine...

God speed.
