Getting the below error in /var/log/messages file while trying to run yum on centOS-5.5 64 bit server.
kernel: yum[4467]: segfault at 0000000700001c4f rip 0000003747879a6a rsp 00007fffaf399cd8 error 4
and on CLI getting segmation fault error. Yum exits after giving that error.

The depsolving algorithms in yum can use quite a bit of memory, possibly hitting RAM which isn’t normally touched, exposing hardware issues you didn’t know where there.
First thing to do is rule out memory problems — try memtest86.
