Is the Connection between Update Server and Me Secure When I Update System with YUM?
Posted: 2018/11/03 12:55:51
Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner with CentOS, here I have a question about security of updating.
When I use 'yum update' to update my system, are there some risks for me to receive fake packages? Because I guess something might happen as follows:
1. My computer sends some commands to CentOS server to require some update package over Internet.
2. But my requests are kidnapped by a bad guy, and reply me with fake packages.
3. My system installs the fake update packages.
4. Then I hacked...
Does CentOS has any protection methods to avoid such kind of risks? Would you please let me know?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
