There have been a number of kernel fixes that plug undesired escalations in privilege. If somebody were to hack in via the webserver and get a local user account, they could then escalate their privs and become root. If it was an internal server, I'd leave it alone (and have, locally). For external-facing systems, patch and reboot when required. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
