kernelcare free patch not found

I have previously enabled KernelCare's Free Patch Set in WHM Security Advisor.

Following an overnight update to 70.0.53 I have started receiving cron emails entitled:

Subject of the message is:

When I now run Security Advisor it advises me to install the free patch set; when I try to do so, it shows an error message stating that kernelcare was installed, but the free patch set could not be found.

Please advise.

Hi Lauren, thanks for responding.

Code:

[root@server ~]# uname -r
3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64

The kernel was updated a week or so ago, but I'm only now seeing this issue after the overnight cPanel update. When the kernel was updated I received the usual, and expected, emails telling me the kernel was unknown, but they went away after a couple of days.

If it's just a case of waiting then that's fine, but I want to ensure that nothing in the latest update could have kyboshed the kernelcare patch.

Cheers,

Nigel

 

Hi again Lauren,

You were correct in your optimism. As of today the patch is working again.

Code:

root@server ~]# kcarectl --patch-info
OS: centos7
kernel: kernel-3.10.0-862.6.3.el7
time: 2018-07-18 11:21:55



kpatch-name: 3.10.0/symlink-protection-ge-862.patch
kpatch-description: symlink protection
kpatch-kernel: kernel-3.10.0-514.el7
kpatch-cve: N/A
kpatch-cvss: N/A
kpatch-cve-url: N/A
kpatch-patch-url: https://gerrit.cloudlinux.com/#/admin/projects/lve-kernel-el7

However now there's another kernel update ready to be installed, so it's back onto the merrygoround
