Security - Kernel Exploit for 64bit OS

[JPC-Rizwan]

There is new exploit that will affect CentOS 64bit servers. We have patched our shared severs for this. If your Dedicated server is running CentOS 64bit OS then please open a support ticket with your login information and we will apply the patch for this on your server.

The servers were patched with a work around earlier as the new kernel was not available from the vendor, it was released later and has been installed on below servers, we will be rebooting them one by one to load the new kernel :
