Security Advisor - Kernel Is Out Of Date

[PCZero]

When I run the Security Advisor I get the following warning:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current kernel version is out of date. current: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6, expected: 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6

Update current system software in the "Update System Software" area, and then reboot the system in the "Graceful Server Reboot" area.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I click the link to run the Update System Software and then perform a Graceful Server reboot as instructed but the message is still present. How do I resolve this?

Hello

Please run the following command:

yum update

Does it prompt you to accept a kernel upgrade?

Thank you.

Thanks Michael. As usual your fix was spot on. That performed the update flawlessly and after a graceful reboot all is well.

Hello

Please run the following command:

yum update

Does it prompt you to accept a kernel upgrade?

Thank you.

I have the same problem but mine is the same even after running update and graceful start
And when I run "yum update" it says "No Packages marked for Update"

Current kernel version is out of date. current: 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6, expected: 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6
Update current system software in the "Update System Software" area, and then reboot the system in the "Graceful Server Reboot" area.

Any help will be appreciated

Yes, there is separate thread for this issue at:

Security Advisor Kernel

Thank you.

Not to hijack the thread, but can the Security Advisor check for the existence of Ksplice and check version against uptrack-uname -r instead of just uname -r ...

So in our case we do have an outdated kernel loaded...

[root@cp3 ~]# uname -r
2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64

but checking the effective kernel version shows that it is the latest...

[root@cp3 ~]# uptrack-uname -r
2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64

Just a thought...
