have some info.

Mike: Just to make sure I'm clear, what is said kernel patched against (meltdown only, meltdown and some spectre variants, etc.)? Some of the vendor kernels needed microcode updates for their patches as well and not sure if that was related to the method used or if the ASL kernel would need as well....

Great. Thanks for the analysis and perspective!

Looks like patches/details have started to come out (appears that Jan 9 was the initial coordinated release date) today for RHEL/CentOS stock kernels, etc.

Is there an ETA for the ASL kernel update now that details appear to have been released?

Thanks.

For the latest ClamAV packages from the asl-4.0 repo on CentOS 5.x (on our way to migrating away from it by the end of March but still in use at present): clamd-0.99.2-35.el5.art.x86_64.rpm and relateds, we are now seeing the logs filling up with: LibClamAV Warning: cli_loadldb: logical signature fo...

Thanks for the update.

Thank you.

Scott/Mike:

What's the ETA on the RHEL/CentOS 5.x kernel update?

Safe to assume that systems that use the ASL kernel are not impacted by the 'Dirty Cow' escalation (CVE-2016-5195)? Noticed a new ASL kernel out for a 6.x box (3.2.69-82) but not an older 5.x box (still running 3.2.69-81) so was wondering if related or coincidental. Assuming that -81 is fine but fig...

Thank you.

Thanks.

For those running ASL with CentOS 7 or RHEL 7, have you run into any peculiarities with 7? Searching in the forums shows a few issues here and there but all seem to be older posts so thinking that things are pretty much smooth these days. Anyone with general feedback? ASL kernel working as expected?...

Thanks. How does one check to make sure kpatches have been successfully applied to the running ASL kernel?

Any update about the above post? Thanks.

What is the ASL kernel version that is in reference with the fixes? Don't recall any kernel updates coming through in the last month on some of our ASL boxes.

Thanks.

Any update?

Thanks.
