Hello,

We wanted to bring to your attention a major security risk for anyone running 64-bit systems. A critical security advisory has been released in regards to the kernel, which you can read more about at the following location:

http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/09/20/0217204

To see if your system is 64-bit, please check the following in root SSH:

uname -a

If it is a 64-bit system, it will return x86_64 as part of the details. Anyone who has 32-bit will see i686 or i386 instead for the details.

To update, please do the following:

wget https://www.ksplice.com/support/diagnose-2010-3081
yum update

Then perform a reboot of the system.

We can perform this upgrade for you for a fee of $35. You would simply need to contact dedicated@lunarpages.com with the last 4 digits of your card on file and your account username or primary domain name.

Those who are on monitored hosting, please note we can provide this update for you at no cost.

If you have any questions, please contact dedicated@lunarpages.com with those questions.

Thank you,
Lunarpages System Administrator Team
