Detected 1 service that is running outdated executables

[MindServer]

Hi friends,

A one week ago we received this notification from Server's Security Advisor:

Detected 1 process that is running outdated executables: 861 You must take one of the following actions to ensure the system is up-to-date:

Restart the listed process.
Reboot the server.

We updated all to last version in all servers and rebooted them.

Today, we received similar notifications again in 2 servers at same time.


SERVER 1:

Detected 2 processes that are running outdated executables: 900 1217971

You must take one of the following actions to ensure the system is up-to-date:

Restart the listed processes.
Reboot the server.

The command "/usr/bin/needs-restarting" returns this:

900 : /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation
1217971 : spamd child
1545682 : spamd child

SERVER 2:

Detected 2 processes that are running outdated executables: 2844641 896

You must take one of the following actions to ensure the system is up-to-date:

Restart the listed processes.
Reboot the server.

The command "/usr/bin/needs-restarting" returns this:

2844641 : spamd child
896 : /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation

Why happens again? we cannot reboot the servers every week.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Hey there! You don't need to reboot the server - just restarting spamd will take care of the issue. You can do that by running "/scripts/restartsrv_spamd"

Hi,

Thank you very much, we writed you because this not happens never in lasts years, but now happens various time in the last weeks.

After use the command "/scripts/restartsrv_spamd" we still have this problem:

Server 1:

900 : /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation

Server 2:

896 : /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

That's definitely odd - could you make a support ticket so we can take a look?

Hi,

I can create a ticket, however I checked if exist any funcion in WHM/cPanel or command for reboot dbus safely but not found him.

Maybe will work this?: systemctl dbus restart

WHM/cPanel have any tool for solve this?. This is the last outdated process that appear in both servers.

Remember that this is a production server and we need solve him without create any problem in clients accounts or websites.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

Running "systemctl dbus restart" is not a valid command.

We'd like to see a ticket on this so we can determine why it is reporting that spamd needs to be restarted, as this could be an issue with the cPanel software.
