CloudLinux's Mykola Naugolnyi announced today, April 26, 2017, the availability of a new Beta kernel for users of the CloudLinux 7 operating system series, addressing various vulnerabilities discovered lately.

The updated kernel is now available in the updates-testing repository for CloudLinux 7 and CloudLinux 6 Hybrid users, and it was versioned as 3.10.0-614.10.2.lve1.4.46. It replaces kernel 3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.45 and was rebased on the OpevVZ kernel rh7-3.10.0-514.10.2.vz7.29.2 from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Two Linux kernel crashes were resolved in this new update, namely CLKRN-104, a crash that occurred around rhashtable as part of rebase, and CLKRN-106, a crash that occurred when attempting to set the vm.vfs_cache_min_ratio option to zero in runtime. Therefore, we recommend updating your systems as soon as possible.

These issues can be fixed on your CloudLinux 7 or CloudLinux 6 Hybrid installations if you enable the updates-testing repository and install the new kernel version. For that, you'll have to run the following commands that correspond to your CloudLinux system on a terminal emulator or virtual console. Don't forget to reboot your machines after installing the kernel!

For CloudLinux 7:
yum clean all --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
yum install kernel-3.10.0-614.10.2.lve1.4.46.el7 kmod-lve-1.4-46.el7 --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
For CloudLinux 6 Hybrid:
yum clean all --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing,cloudlinux-hybrid-testing
yum install kernel-3.10.0-614.10.2.lve1.4.46.el6h kmod-lve-1.4-46.el6h --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing,cloudlinux-hybrid-testing
