Kernel Problem - Server keeps rebooting

Hello to all,

Suddenly and without reason our CentOS 6.5 server running ASL 4 and Interworx CP started rebooting about every 10 minutes or so.

By looking at the system and logs, we spotted this error:
Invalid command 'SecConnReadStateLimit', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.6' not found (required by touch)

2 9901 ASLCommon::cmd_system ERROR: 'touch /var/asl/tmp/posix-acl-test
(1)'
2 9901 ASLCommon::cmd_system ERROR: 'cp -fpL /etc/localtime /var/ossec/
etc/localtime (1)'
We noticed that no "libc.so.6" file or link were present in /lib64/ so we proceeded to restore the lnk from our backup.
This got rid of that particular problem.

Additionally, this started appearing in our server's console screen:
grsec: denied exec of usermode helper binary /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp located outside of /sbin and system paths
We found this ASL forum link and followed the instructions there:
https://atomicorp.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... w=previous
This worked and those messages went away.

But the server kept rebooting constantly.
So we decided to go back to an earlier Kernel.
So we booted with kernel vmlinuz-3.2.58-68.art.x86_64 instead of kernel vmlinuz-3.2.60-70.art.x86_64 that we were using previously.

This fixed the problem and the server stopped rebooting :)


Additionally, another problem persisted with the Apache httpd service that it hangs and becomes unresponsive from time to time.
If you try to restart service it returns:
Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.
So you have to kill -9 all httpd processes or reboot for the httpd service to come back.
We wonder if this second problem is also related to above issue.

Also, our ASL GUI does not work now:
Notice: Use of undefined constant EXIT_FATAL - assumed 'EXIT_FATAL' in /var/asl/www/lib/php/ASLW.php on line 264
Notice: Use of undefined constant EXIT_FATAL - assumed 'EXIT_FATAL' in /var/asl/www/lib/php/ASLW.php on line 200
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/asl/www/lib/php/ASLW.php on line 202
Fatal error: Call to a member function kill() on a non-object in /var/asl/www/lib/php/ASLW.php on line 215
Now we want to know what has caused this whole issue and how we can go back and restore system to where we were before.

Any prompt help that will shed some light on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

Rodrigo

Another finding on this issue.
I tried to update system with "aum -u" and got this:
[root@iwx21 ~]# aum -u
