    Yet another problem that actually updating your shit - which is trivially easy on enterprise Linux - would fix.

    It’s part of the 95% of problems solved by actually updating your enterprise Linux host.

      That requires that the patches be in the repos. With RHEL it might be a few months

        Normally security patches are pretty good on same day releases as the CVE if available.

          Its a Debian package that automatically upgraded packages (if they have pending security updates)

        Just live patch

        Although it is better to have some sort of HA system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
