-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
sorry to interrupt this thread, but this probably means, you did not perform any kernel updates on that machine for over two years and therefore the system is vulnarable to some kernel bugs which where discovered during this time. On a DNS machine a privilege escalation bug is even more severe. I strongly recommend to secure this machine.
