Out of band kernel updates and reboots – Januscape/Bad Epoll

With the release of a number of critical CVE listed vulnerabilities, paired with public proof of concept scripts in the wild – we will be performing emergency out of band updates of kernels across a variety of internal platforms and managed customer servers.

An initial run will be done for all AlmaLinux 9 and 10 devices, to address Januscape and Bad-Epoll CVEs; as per the AlmaLinux blog post below:

This will require a reboot of the impacted servers.

Cloudlinux 9 and 10 will follow thereafter.

Please be aware that there are a number of high-profile security vulnerabilities ongoing, impacting a wide range of operating systems and releases – further emergency updates may be required.
