Hello all,

Recently, RHEL 7 and Scientific Linux 7 has released a new Kernel version 3.10.0-862.el7, that fixes the hardware vulnerabilities described in CVE-2017-5754 (https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2017-5754). I was wondering, are you going to release a similar Kernel update for CentOS7? If so, when should we expect an updated version of Kernel?

Any time you want: yum --enablerepo=cr --noplugins 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.
