We will be scheduling an important kernel security and bug fix update this weekend.

This would take place as far as possible during the off-peak hours. A reboot is required to complete the upgrade. The downtime should not exceed 30 minutes and it will be minimize as much as possible.

This update is scheduled as follows:

Date: 12 Feb 2016 (Friday) to 14 Feb 2016 (Sunday)
Time: Between 2AM and 8AM EST#


Details of the security update*

Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote
attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a
denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)
