The recent discovery of a security flaw in linux kernels imply the necessity to
update some VPS distributions:
=> Distribution VPS VMware: Not affected
=> Distribution VPS Proxmox: affected
There isn't a security update available from upstream yet. In the meantime we
have recompiled a patched kernel that can be installed it like this:
In both cases, run 'lilo' after installation and reboot.
=> Distribution VPS Virtuozzo: affected
An update seems to resolve the issue. We have prepared a script that handles all necessary steps:
wget ftp://ftp.ovh.net/made-in-ovh/dedie/virtuozzo/update.sh -O update-2.6.18-028stab064.4.sh
sh update-2.6.18-028stab064.4.sh
Please check that the settings in /boot/grub/grub.conf are correct before
rebooting.
