Dear Henry Raymond,

Due to a recent local root exploit which impacts the linux kernel of the 2.6.x branch, we will need to perform a security audit of all our shared hosting servers.

This audit will include checking for the latest kernel version for the version of CentOS, installation, and subsequent reboot of the server in order to ensure this vulnerability is fully mitigated.

This audit will be taking place November 10, 2009 at 8:00pm EST. You may experience 5 - 10 minutes of downtime while the server reboots into the new kernel. We thank you for your understanding while we work to provide a safe and secure environment for your data.
