perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

All;

Yesterday marked the release of a new Red Hat CVE:

Upstream details at : http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2015-0087.html

CVE: 

http://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-4656

http://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-7841

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://www.perfsonar.net/about/faq/#Q25

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, and will alert you when we have our web100 patched version available. We'll try to have it ready as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience,
The perfSONAR Team
