Why does yum-cron applies all the updates even if the update_cmd set to security-serverity Critical ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In yum-cron.conf: update_cmd = security-serverity:Critical doesn't apply only critical security updates but everything.
  • This means only security updates with Critical priority should be installed but actually all available updates gets installed.
  • Is it a bug?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
  • yum-cron-3.4.3-132.el7.noarch
