ACAS Critical Vulnerability Help

Post by vec » 2017/07/07 19:13:01

We are running an ACAS scan on an application that is running CentOS 7.0 The scan report identifies a Critical Vulnerability stating the "CentOS is out-of-date" All other vulnerabilities have been patched and no longer appear in the report but this one Critical Vulnerability still shows up. I am trying to determine if this is because there really are additional vulnerabilities associated with the 7.0 version that are not showing up in the scan or if this is just being reported because ACAS wants to see the 7.2 version versus 7.0. Appreciate any insight on this. Thanks

What is the output from rpm -q centos-release kernel ?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

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