Hi All,

This I just a heads-up about a new container vulnerability going around: https://thehackernews.com/2019/02/linux-container-runc-docker.html

Nothing specific to perfSONAR, but since some of you do run perfSONAR and other software in containers such as Docker, it may be relevant. As always, patch your systems and consult your local security folks if you have any questions about the best course of action. 

Thanks,
Andy
