Virtuozzo OnApp 5.5 CloudBoot Security Update

This update addresses the Foreshadow vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-3639, CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, and CVE-2018-3646) for CentOS 6/7 CloudBoot compute resources. For more information on vulnerabilities refer to Foreshadow Attack Issues doc.

To mitigate the vulnerabilities on KVM CloudBoot compute resources we recommend updating the kernel to one of the following versions:

  • for CentOS 6 - kernel 2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64
  • for CentOS 7 - kernel 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64

To mitigate the vulnerabilities on Xen CloudBoot compute resources we recommend updating the kernel to one of the following versions:

  • for CentOS 6 - kernel 4.9.112-32.el6.x86_64

Use CloudBoot Compute Resources and CloudBoot Backup Server upgrade procedures to install the update. ‘Simple reboot’ and ‘Migrate and Reboot’ options are available.
