All OS vendors and maintainers have rushed to kick Updates out of the door that address these vulnerabilities. By this time CentOS and Scientific Linux kernel updates are out. Please make sure that your BlueOnyx servers are fully updated and *also* make sure that they are now actually running the latest kernel. This might require a reboot so that the updated kernel installed via the last YUM update gets put into effect. You can check this way which kernel you are currently running and what the latest kernel used upon boot is: Current Kernel: uname -r Newest installed Kernel: cat /boot/grub/grub.conf|grep title Aventurin{e} 6108R: ==================== Parallels is giving the EL7 kernel a higher priority than the EL6 kernel. And neither of them is (so far) available to the public. Which is far from being ideal. However: A third party has taken the latest OpenVZ EL6 kernel (2.6.32-042stab126.2) and has patched it with the security updates from the RedHat 2.6.32-696-18.7 kernel. I took the SRPM of that third party OpenVZ kernel, examined it and the patches and although I am no kernel expert I think this might be OK. At least until the time that OpenVZ releases an official OpenVZ 6 kernel that fixes the issues in a way that they deem best. I am running several nodes with the new kernel myself and so far I encountered no problems aside from the expected performance impact that all of these fixes introduce. The fixed (unofficial) OpenVZ 6 kernel for Aventurin{e} 6108R is now in the OS-Updates YUM repository and has the version number 2.6.32-042stab126.666. The latest "bad" kernel (with the security flaws) is named 2.6.32-042stab126.2. As noted above: After the updated Kernel has been installed via "yum update" you do need to reboot in order for the new kernel to be put into effect. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
