5.7? Really? That's from 2011. You really need to yum update more often than every 6 years! There are (or were) security patches released all the time and you need to be putting them on in a timely manner not waiting 6 years.

CentOS 5 is DEAD. There is no more support for it. You need to move to a newer version and since CentOS 6 has gone into production phase 3 upstream and only critical security updates are being released, that really means CentOS 7.

You can modify your current /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file to point to the 5.11 directory on vault.centos.org and yum update to 5.11 but that is still dead and will receive no more security (or anything else) updates ever.

You still need to move to a supported version ASAP. CentOS 5 had 10 years of life and it's no longer supported.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
