You could subscribe to "fedora-package-announce" list and rely on
the "[SECURITY]" tag in the subject of the messages in addition to
the package release notes at the top of the messages:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-announce

Examples:

[SECURITY] Fedora 9 Update: kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2008-July/msg00082.html

Fedora 9 Update: kernel-2.6.25.10-86.fc9
