Meltdown Mitigation

The patched jessie kernels have not been released (see this debian page for status info) however... the backported stretch kernel has been released.

It hasn't hit the apt repos yet (10:48 pm America/New_York) however, I have installed on octavia, floriberto and chavez via direct download.

How to upgrade

Check if the kernel is in your apt repo first:

apt-get update
apt-cache policy linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64

If the candidate is: 4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1 then you can run:

apt-get install linux-image-amd64/jessie-backports linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/jessie-backports linux-base/jessie-backports

If not, then run:

apt-get install linux-base/jessie-backports
wget https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb

Steps

  • released service advisory
  • Upgrade and reboot all MOSH'es
  • Upgrade and reboot all other guests
  • Upgrade and reboot physical servers (wait for Jamie in case a colo trip is needed).

Server List

Here is the server list (in order). Please put your initials after a server that you are working on, then strike-out when it is completed.

Once the service advisory is out, you don't have to wait for confirmation on IRC or any coordination - just start upgrading (provided we are in off hours).
