Hi All,

As you may be aware, a serious security vulnerability in the Linux Kernel,
known as Copy Fail [1], was recently discovered. I spent much of Friday
rebooting our critical systems and am continuing that process today. We
have nearly completed reboots for all hypervisors and will proceed to other
managed systems next.

If you maintain a VM on our infrastructure, I highly recommend that you
upgrade and reboot your systems as soon as possible to ensure the necessary
fixes are applied.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks-
