A new version of the 2.6.18-xenU Linux kernel is available for hosting servers. This version contains fixes for 4 security flaws (CVE-2009-3002, CVE-2009-2848, CVE-2009-1895, CVE-2009-1337) and enable the CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK option.

A quick changelog is available.

As a new kernel version imply new modules, you can use this process to update your kernel modules on your server if you have the root access.

In order to make use of this new version, you will need to restart your server, which you can do simply with the linux command "reboot" if you have root access to your server. In case of GandiAI, the web interface allow you to restart your server. We will thus allow you to make arrangements to effect this reboot according to your own scheduling requirements.
