Please be advised that our Systems Administrators are immediately commencing kernel upgrades across our fleet of managed linux servers (Including Virtuozzo nodes). This action is being undertaken to address a significant vulnerability within the kernel of 64-bit linux distributions.
The work requires a restart of the server after the patch has been applied, and this notice is being sent to advise you of a brief period of service interruption that will occur for each managed, shared, and reseller server during the day. We appreciate your patience while the work is being performed.
We would also like to take this opportunity to advise customers with unmanaged, 64-bit linux servers that they should immediately update to the latest stable kernel for their linux distribution.
Customers requiring further information about the patch are requested to email the service desk.
