All, This applies to only perfsonar-ps 3.3-rc1 NetInstall users. A new RedHat CVE was released today: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0223.html If you are a NetInstall user, a 'yum update' may give you a new non-web100 kernel and therefore break access to NDT/NPAD. Consult our FAQ for more info: http://psps.perfsonar.net/toolkit/FAQs.html#Q30 Our read of the CVE does not find any issue of concern specific to the toolkit. Its possible the host may be vulnerable to some types of DoS attacks in some particular cases. If you are in doubt about your kernel, feel free to review the CVE, upgrade to the latest version, and forgo NDT/NPAD support for the time being. We are in the process of building and testing a new kernel. We expect to release our web100 patched version as part of 3.3-rc2 release. Once again, please note that this affects only perfsonar-ps 3.3-rc1 NetInstall users. Thanks, Sowmya |
