On CentOS, yum --security does not function and will never function. There is no security metadata to allow it to do so in the CentOS yum repos. If you attempt to run e.g. yum --security update it will never find any updates as none of them are marked as security updates. The EPEL repo that is often used on CentOS does contain security information so the only packages that will ever be updated are those from EPEL.

Your stacktrace also shows the error is coming from "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/kernel-livepatch.py" and this is not something supplied by CentOS. There is no kernel-livepatch service or data or patches that it can use on CentOS.

What is the output from rpm -qf /usr/lib/yum-plugins/kernel-livepatch.py ?
