Cloning a RedHat repository and collecting security informations only

makcimilian · 02-07-2019, 02:40 AM

Hi everyone !

I have computers running on RedHat on a local network (without any Internet connection of course).

Here is the diagram :

My first question is : is it possible to make a clone of the Red Hat repository ? In order to update the computer on the LAN. Can't find any explicit tutorial on that.

I also need to know to which CVE they are vulnerable.
and I'm using the "yum-plugin-security --cve" command.
As expected, as there is no connection to the Internet I don't have results, although I should have some.

So my second question is : What the architecture of the YUM repository looks like ? Where can I find all the security informations ?

Do you have any clue ? Can't find anything.

Thanks a lot !

There is a very simple answer. Your pcs are networked, but unusually, not connected to the internet.

When you want to update them, connect them to the internet. You don't have to do anything else. Many would suspect your motives. Your single other post was on a similar topic. You express concern about vulnerabilities, yet as your pcs are not connected to the internet, they're not vulnerable, are they?

Your interest in Redhat Repositories and vulnerability patching raises disturbing possibilities. If you want to clone a repository, ask Red Hat.

Yup, that!

OP: Look for RedHat Satellite
