CentOS - Jan 2019 - Upgrade CentOS 7.4 to 7.5 and don't want to upgrade it to 7.6

Hi,

Is there a way to upgrade from Centos Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) to
Centos Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) and not up to CentOS Linux release
7.6.1810 (Core) as the product does not support the latest CentOS Linux
release 7.6.1810 (Core) version as of now. It is still a work in progress.
Any help will be highly appreciable. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

Well, there is no 7.6, nor 7.5, but only centos 7, with updates ....
meaning that it just represent which updates were rolled-in at install
time, nothing else.
So if you don't want to apply updates, it's of course up to you, but
then you're on your own for all security issues ;-)

Thanks Fabian for the quick response. I understand it completely about the
security compliance requirements. I will use the below commands to keep all
the security patches up to date.

#yum list-security --security
#yum update --security

Is there a way to upgrade from Centos Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
to Centos Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) as we will not avail support if we
upgrade it to CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) as per the software
requirements of the product. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in Advance.

What product and what, specifically, about 7.6 does it not support? 
Could you not just exclude the incompatible packages? You could then 
provide your own repo for the incompatible packages drawn from 7.5 and 
backport any security fixes for those packages yourself.
