Important Security Bulletin: LxAdmin Update Required

[chriss]

While I don't use this software myself, given the public disclosure of several vulnerabilities and the associated exploits, I would suggest that anyone who has not already updated their lxadmin/kloxo software do so as a matter of urgency.

The official vulnerability announcement was made on the lxlabs forum here: Multiple Security Issues in hyperVM/Kloxo

As chriss noted (and as recommended in today's State of the Network Blog Post, all LxAdmin / HostInABox users should run the following command ASAP:

/script/upcp

[DanL@VPSLink]

-bash-3.1# ./upcp

lxadmin is the latest version

All LxAdmin / HostInABox OS templates updated (as of this time new LxAdmin installations will not be affected by vulnerabilities patched with the latest batch of updates from LxLabs).

Please see our June 9th, 2009 blog post if you are currently using LxAdmin and check back here and on the blog regularly for updates as more information regarding the future of LxAdmin at VPSLink becomes available.
