New kernel for CentOS6.4

Post by mura » 2014/04/24 12:35:59

Hi,

I'd like to apply kernel-2.6.32-358.37.1.el6.x86_64.rpm to my CentOS to fix some vulnerability.
Does anyone know the plan to release kernel-2.6.32-358.37.1.el6.x86_64.rpm for CentOS 6.4 ?

Running yum update would bring you the latest and greatest, kernel-2.6.32-431.11.2.

kernel-2.6.32-358.37.1.el6.x86_64.rpm is a Z series kernel for RHEL 6.4 and those are not built for CentOS, they are subscription only from RH. CentOS 6.4 is now obsolete and you should update to 6.5 using yum update
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
