It impacts RHEL5 (so also CentOS5) 2. They are NOT fixing it, at least not now. This is NOT the FIRST security update where this has happened. I would recommend you upgrade to CentOS-6 or CentOS-7 for all workloads that you can. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
