Any word on this update for CentOS 6? This one seems pretty bad if it's a remote exploit. -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu, http://www.cfa.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Red Hat Errata Notifications <errata at redhat.com> Date: Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 5:19 PM

Hi, Since the release of CentOS 5.3 is imminent(?) I'd like to ask a question regarding why did it took so long to be released and, more important, suggest some actions in order to reduce this time if I can assume what caused this delay. First I'd like to make sure I am not complaining about this delay between the RHEL and CentOS releases per se. I did not help in any way to make it

Are there plans to release kernel-2.6.9-67.0.15.plus.c4.i586.rpm ?? Thanks, Barry

Hi, After searching the archive I found one post (last october) complaining about lack of kmod-drbd2 rpm for the lastest kernels. Almost two months have passed and no sign of the rpm I was wondering if the mantainer has some news about it. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 Version: 3.2-1 Severity: critical Tags: security Justification: DoS of entire system regardless of privilege When running the exploit listed in bug 464953 [1], Xen's memory state becomes corrupted and the hypervisor eventually crashes, taking all of the domU's with it. As such, this breaks operational behaviour, so I have marked this as critical. [1]

Does anyone know if the Xen 3.1.0 kernels as distributed in the "open source" tarballs (x86_64 version) are vulnerable to the recently-announced vulnerability CVE-2007-4573? IF so, is there any plan to release patched tarballs anytime soon? Thanks Steve Timm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.

I need some advice. I updated the kernel but when I restarted my computer I got the following error message: -- I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. ... Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! -- I've started my computer using the old kernel. I found out that there's a new nvidia driver so I will also update it.

Hi all. Julien Tinnes and Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team have recently found a Linux kernel vulnerability which affects all 2.4 and 2.6 kernels since 2001 on all architectures. Please read the announcement on LWM: http://lwn.net/Articles/347006/ for further information about the vulnerability and the exploit which has been provided by Brad Spengler (you will find updates on his

I can't find documentation for ->sendpage(). Is the idea that you get a struct page for the payload and can do zero-copy tx? (And can userspace still write to the page, invalidating checksums in the header?) Stefan

It affects RHEL6 which runs 2.6.32, they backported the features that it affects. If the above openvz kernel was based on a RHEL6 kernel (and I'd guess it was) then it's affected. Peter

I''m looking for some evidence, backup up with dates and references, that shows that the Linux community responds to security problems more quickly than other OS vendors, and thus might be considered "more secure". A number of fairly high profile corporations are starting to look for such information as they consider Linux as an alternative solution to other UNIXes. Something

Hi dovecot developers and users, I recently upgraded my server running Arch Linux to dovecot 2.3.0, and I noticed some of my cron jobs started issuing me error messages. These cron jobs run as a non-root user associated with my mail account, and they use doveadm to tidy things up (ex. purging the trash, moving old mail in certain folders into the trash). The error message is: > Error:
