Dear Customer / Reseller,

last evening a critical security issue was identified under
CVE-2015-0235 in the Linux system library .
The vulnerability is rated "critical" in many Linux distributions,
however it only affects a limited number of programs. These include the
exim mailserver and procmail mailserver. All common distributions have
already issued an update.

You can find further details in this article:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/27/9

The following versions are no longer vulnerable.

Debian 6 - 2.11.3-4+deb6u4
Debian 7 - 2.13-38+deb7u7
CentOS 5 - 2.5-123.el5_11.1
CentOS 6 - 2.12-1.149.el6_6.5
CentOS 7 - 2.17-55.el7_0.5

You can use the following commands to install the update.

Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get update; apt-get install --only-upgrade libc6
RedHat-based (Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux): yum update glibc

You should reboot the server after the update so that all services can
load the new library.

We would always strongly recommend updating your system regularly. If
you need help with this then our support will gladly provide help and
advice.

Best Regards
Your Support-Team
