AFAIK, I'm not sure, if there is a Fedora mailing-list which gives you
_explicitly_ security updates. But I can point you to a few things.
1) you may want to install yum-security-plugin, ( "yum install
yum-security"), you can just do a "yum update --security" for getting
all
security updates/patches. check it's man page .
more details here -
http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/01/16/tips-and-tricks-yum-security/
(And maybe you can periodically run a simple cron job to send an email to
you)
2) subscribe to fedora-package-announce mailing list - which has "security
updates" announcements along with other packages.
3) check out websites like
www.lwn.net where security updates of Fedora
(and other major distributions) will be announced.
hope that helps,
