we have red-hat version 6.x machine,

I verified what are the missing security patches as the following:

 yum updateinfo list security available
 Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
 This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

 updateinfo list done

I have two questions:

when I run the following yum command:

yum update -y

dose this yum command will be installed all the missing security patch?? ( as I mentioned in the list )

when yum update -y completed to installed all patches ,

is it mean that my Linux red-hat machine version 6.x is fully updated with all patches?
