Updates 12-13-2011
So I finally got to catch up with all the WordPress updates.
Every site I manage is now running WordPress 3.3.
All plugins are up to date…
Themes are updated… code has been adjusted to be valid…
I also did a apt-get upgrade and dovecot of course was updated.
svn pull on roundcubemail had some changes…
So the updates end.
Enjoy!
Debian + Apache 2 (CVE-2011-1176)
Debian pushed the apache update finally (get to disable the workaround)
apache2 (2.2.16-6+squeeze1) stable-security; urgency=high
* Fix CVE-2011-1176 in apache2-mpm-itk: If NiceValue was set, the default
with no AssignUserID was to run as root:root instead of the default
Apache
user and group. Closes: #618857
So that should close the issue…
Thanks Debian and Apache for the fix!
Super Upgrade Mode…
So tonight I finally got to roll the Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) update on Inexistence.
There may be some hiccups for the next few days as I fix anything that it broke.
I also started rolling IPv6 support now.
I will start adding AAAA dns records as I continue to test the functionality of each host.
All AAAA records have been set for all hosts now.
So please be patient if you notice anything break, I will more than likely be made aware
of it as it happens and will fix it as soon as I can…
Thanks and enjoy as always!
Updates to follow below (for any hiccups and their fixes):
2011-02-17
Slight hiccup detected with sendmail: local emailing (aka cron jobs) weren’t working as
expected thanks to submit.mc snafu. Fixed now from my preliminary tests aka all
my cron job emails are coming in.
2011-02-19
Did some changes to apache2 to improve performance and security.
SQL the constant headache…
So tonight I went from the stable version of mysql 5.0.51a to 5.1.49 from debian backports.
*Sigh*
We’ve been having issues with database corruptions hopefully this will help out.
Please let me know if any of your sql powered sites have issues…
As always enjoy and I hope everything is great on your end…
Update – 10/18/2010
So the backport upgrade really didn’t help much…
I now have a custom shell script I wrote checking the databases every day around 4am.
If you site goes down around then don’t be surprised and a refresh of your browser should do the trick..
(It takes about 2 to 4 seconds to run and re-spawns mysql to fix the OOM issue it still causes)
I cannot wait till squeeze comes out (next version of Debian).
That is all…
read moreSSH Access…
All SSH access is currently denied for all users as there is a rather evil kernel bug:
Hole in Linux kernel provides root rights
Of course Debian hasn’t patched this in backports yet (which we currently use).
So until this is fixed please drop me a support ticket if you really need shell access.
Otherwise please be patient and I’ll let you know when I lift the ban…
Debian has fixed this with the latest backport kernel upgrade.
Enjoy your shell access again folks!
