I have found a number of owl installs in the infrastructure I now manage and
I am wondering how to deal with them in respect of the dirty c.o.w.
vulnerability,  given that they are all quite old.

 

The four machines list the following two kernel versions:

 

2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.028stab071.5.owl1 #1 SMP Sat Sep 25 02:43:36 MSD 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux

2.6.18-348.3.1.el5.028stab106.2.owl1 #1 SMP Mon Apr 8 03:39:13 MSK 2013
x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

Many thank

Alan
