Hi all,

Because of a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the linux
kernel (Copy Fail CVE-2026-31431) we have been updating kernel
packages (for Debian and Fedora Core OS) and installing band-aids [1]
on various servers/vms. Which required reboots. We will likely have to
reboot some servers/vms again in the coming days. Apologies for the
disruption.

See https://sourceware.org/sourceware-wiki/servers-and-services-2026/
for the various servers, vms and services.

Thanks to Claudio and Frank for helping run the update scripts and/or
installing the security band-aids.

Cheers,

Mark
